 Churches within the civil parish of East Brent.

The Church of St Mary, The Blessed Virgin (Church of England)

The church is built in the Transition style, consisting of chancel, nave of five bays, aisles, south porch and an embattled western tower of five stages, with low pinnacles and a lofty spire, and containing a clock and 6 bells. The main body of the current church building dates to the twelth century. A tower and spire were added around one hundred years later. The oldest two of the six bells in the tower, still in use date from 1440 and 1450. The clock was added to the tower circa. 1840, this chimes on the treble bell. Much of the glass in the stained glass windows dates from the fifteenth century, as do the ornately carved wooden pews, which were brought to East Brent from Glastonbury by Abbot John Selwood (vicar from 1467 to 1493) . The ornately carved wooden pews bear the initials of Abbot Selwood.

The Ecclesiastical Parish of East Brent merged with the Ecclesiastical Parishes of East Brent, Brent Knoll and Lympsham to form one Eccesiastical Parish known as "The Parish of Three Saints".

The Church is open daily - 9.00am to 4.00pm, visitors are welcome to rest for a while and enjoy the serenity it offers. The Church Office is open 10.00 to 13.00 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Worship times are advertised in the porch and are available inside on a leaflet called 'Where to Worship'.
