The village of Puckington, Somerset is situated 10 miles SE of Taunton and 10 miles W of Yeovil. The church, which is built of rubble, is mostly of the 13thc and 15th with later work. It consists of a W tower, nave, large mid-19thc transept, chancel, S porch and vestry. The font is Romanesque.

Before the Conquest the manor was held by Muchelney Abbey but after 1066 it was taken over by Roger de Courcelles. It was subsequently held by a succession of families until the execution of the Duke of Suffolk in 1553 when it reverted to the Crown (Bush, 1985).

The principal source of stone is apparently the local quarry of Moolham just S of Ilminster.

The church is one of many which preserves a Romanesque font in a later medieval building, which suggests that it was probably retained intentionally.
