From the 13th to 15th century West Pennard was a chapelry of the Church of St John the Baptist in Glastonbury. The chapel was dedicated to Saint Nicholas in 1210.[2]
The tower dates from around 1482,[3] following the chancel and south aisle which had been built earlier in the 15th century. The north aisle was added in the 16th century.[2] The tower holds six bells four of which were cast in the early 17th century.[2]
The interior includes a screen with Tudor carvings in the chancel.[4]
The churchyard cross, which was built between 1493 and 1524 by Abbot Richard Beere of Glastonbury, is also Grade I listed.[5]
The parish is part of the Brue benefice which includes Baltonsborough with Butleigh, West Bradley and West Pennard within the Glastonbury deanery.[6]
