- Puxton, Somerset (Holy Saviour's Church)
A wonderful Medieval church with a noticeably leaning tower on the low-lying north Somerset Levels. It stands on a small mound at the edge of an earthwork which has produced evidence of a 10th to 13th century settlement.
Dominated by its leaning tower, the church is externally Perpendicular in style, with an earlier Saxo-Norman nave to the south.
Its light, rustic interior features ledger stones – engraved stones covering old tombs – set in the flagged floor.
Fine oak box pews on the north side of the nave are probably early 18th century, and the oak reading desk and pulpit are Jacobean.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Good access for visitors with disabilities.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

Wonderful church with a leaning tower. Very atmospheric inside, deep sense of history and antiquity. I loved it!
