St. Mary the Virgin, Gillingham
St. Mary the Virgin Gillingham's church is a large building of which only the chancel - of the 14th century - is original; the rest dates from the 19th and 20th centuries. The tower, with its typical Somerset tracery, is a reminder that it is near the county boundary.
