"Symondsbury has one church - St John the Baptist. The church of St John the Baptist is in Early English style and cruciform shape, it has a nave, transepts, south porch and square tower with 6 small bells and a clock. The registers date from 1558. Records show that the first rector arrived in 1325. In the north and south transept there are spyholes, known as squints, through which the congregation could see the priest at the altar. The stained glass in a memorial window in the church was designed around 1884 by William Lethaby, who later became Professor of Ornament & Design at the Royal College of Art."
