the tower; it was most likely a lantern tower before this. A rood loft was added across the nave arch, separating the nave from the tower and east end. 16th and 17th centuries The church saw much change again during the 16th and 17th centuries, including the removal of the rood loft and staircase, and damage caused by the English Civil War. The church, like many others, was damaged by Oliver Cromwell and his forces, including smashing many stained glass windows, destroying monuments and furnishings, and decapitating the head from the churchyard cross. As such, many of the windows in the church, especially in the nave, are now made from clear glass. 18th - 20th centuries In 1753, a gallery was erected across the western end, though this was removed just under a century later, in a restoration of 1850–1860. This restoration involved removing the galleries, re-roofing the chancel, and adding a new reredos, north transept screen, and choir stalls. A new organ was added, also in the north transept, during 1888. In 1920, major restoration was required again and was carried out in three stages. The first stage, carried out from 1920 to 1924, involved recasting the church bells and restoring the tower and clock, at a cost of £1,731. The second stage, the largest and longest, involved the renewing of floors, seating, walls, heating apparatus, the restoration of the roofs of chancel, north transept and nave aisles, at a cost of £1,791. The third and final stage, lasting from 1931 to 1932, included the restoration of the nave and south transept roofs, and the pinnacles, parapets, and gables. This final stage was overseen by Mr W. D. Caroe, the Bath & Wells Diocesan Architect, and cost a further £793. During this work, a beautiful and rare 13th-century fresco painting of St Christopher was discovered in the north nave aisle. This was restored and opened up too, carried out by Mr P. L. Blevins of Glasgow, who bore the cost of restoring the fresco entirely. The total cost of the restoration project was £4,315, and the parish raised more than £2,600 of the total sum. Donations also arrived from further afield, including from Gloucestershire, London, Canada, the United States, and New Zealand. 21st century As with all church buildings, constant maintenance is required to keep the building watertight and in good condition. Minor repair works have included new guttering
