There is limited parking by the entrance to chuchyard at the end of Church Lane. Access to the churchyard is via a lych gate or an adjacent gate.
On the tower, one stone has a carving of a Tudor rose. The tower also has a carving of a ‘daisy wheel’; such carvings are believed to have been placed on houses and churches to avert evil. There is also a daisy wheel made up of inscribed overlapping circles on the outside wall of the chancel on the eastern side. No scratch dial has been found, any such would probably have disappeared when the porch was added as they tend to be found by the southern door. There is however, the remains of a sundial (without its gnomon), west of the porch. A stone buttress of the tower - a figure of Hercules with his club on the east face and Apollo with his lyre - was found to be part of the altar of the Roman temple at Bath and was restored to its original position. (Two other corners have been found, one depicting Hercules and Jupiter and another with the figure of Bacchus.)
The parish is part of the benefice of Publow with Pensford, Compton Dando and Chelwood within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.
