The Church of All Saints in Lullington, Somerset, England, dates from the 12th century, the south aisle from around 1280, and the chancel, tower and south porch circa 1450. The church was restored in 1862 by Thomas Henry Wyatt. It is a Grade I listed building.[1][2]

It has a two bay chancel and three-stage tower. The north door of the church has a tree of life tympanum.[3]

The interior includes a highly decorated font inscribed with "Hoc Fontis Sacro Peveunt Delicta Lavacro" meaning in the sacred washing of the font sins are cleansed.[4]

Henry Waldegrave, 11th Earl Waldegrave was the rector of the village in the early 20th century.

Present day

The parish is part of the benefice of Beckington with Berkley, Lullington, Orchardleigh and Rodden within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[5]

The church stands in the Conservative Evangelical tradition of the Church of England.[6] The church uses the Book of Common Prayer, rather than the more modern Common Worship, for its services, and is a member of the Prayer Book Society.[7]
