The Church of St Mary in Cannington, Somerset, England has a tower which dates from the 14th century, the remainder was rebuilt in the early 15th century and restored in 1840 by Richard Carver.[1] It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[2]

The nave was built between 1375 and 1400, however the tower remains from the previous church. The pulpit is from the 15th century. Buriels and memorials in the church are to the family of John Pym.[3]

It was previously connected to Cannington Court and is postulated as the former church of a house of Benedictine Nuns.[2] The nuns arrived in Cannington after fleeing from the French Revolution.[3]

The parish is part of the benefice of Cannington, Otterhampton, Combwich and Stockland within the Quantock deanery.[4]
