Church of St Mary Magdalene, Stockland Bristol - Somerset Council (UA)

Parish church built in 1865 of blue lias rubble stone. Designed by Arthur of Plymouth for the Daniel family of Stockland Manor. Roofs need re-covering and there are a number of slipped tiles. Structural stability is poor with cracking to window surrounds and major fracture through the tower, loose and bulging stonework. Some repairs to valley gutter and one window which was blown in, were carried out in 2017 and in 2019 the kneeler and copings to the vestry gable were reset. The parish is putting together proposals for repair but the church remains in a very poor state.
