St Mary’s Minster, Ilminster

Ilminster takes its name from the river Isle and the church of St Mary’s which is known as The Minster. The church was built around 1450 on the site of a Saxon building. It was refurbished in 1825 by William Burgess. Its distinctive colour come from the Hamstone (a Jurassic limestone from Ham Hill in Somerset). The 90ft tower has a stair turret to the north-west corner. The north chapel contains the tombs of Sir William Wadham, by whose bequest the Minster was built, and of Nicholas and Dorothy Wadham, founders of Wadham College, Oxford.
