St John the Baptist's, Hatch Beauchamp
Sir George Gilbert Scott restored this church in 1867, extending the nave and aisles by one bay eastwards. He built a new north chapel which incorporated the old east window and inserted new north and south chapel windows. The coat of rough-cast which covered the whole of the walls was taken off and repaired using Langport stone and repointed. The buttresses of the tower were removed and rebuilt, and the parapets and pinnacles taken down and refixed. A new chancel arch was positioned to the east of the old arch and the gallery was removed. This cost £1500 which was raised by the parish, subscription and from W. H. P. Gore Langton esq.
