The Church of St Vincent stands in the small village of Ashington in Somerset. Built in the 13th century, it is a small two-cell church with a nave and chancel. The structure is made of local stone with Hamstone dressings and has a clay tile roof. Offset buttresses support the nave, and a western bell turret was added later. The church is recognised as a Grade I listed building. The church holds notable features from different periods. Its interior includes Jacobean furnishings such as box pews and a 17th-century pulpit with a tester. The octagonal baptismal font adds to its historical character. The church belongs to the benefice of Chilton Cantelo, Ashington, Mudford, Rimpton and Marston Magna in the deanery of Yeovil. Visitors find a quiet, historic place with simple beauty. The nave and chancel offer a sense of the church’s age and craftsmanship. The bell turret stands out as a later addition. Inside, the box pews and pulpit reflect 17th-century design. The octagonal font adds a distinctive detail to the interior.
