Location of Church of St Hugh in Somerset

The Anglican Church of St Hugh in Charterhouse, within the English county of Somerset, dates from 1908. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1][2] The church is dedicated to Hugh of Lincoln. It was built in 1908 by W. D. Caroe, on the initiative of the Rev. Menzies Lambrick,[3] from the former welfare hall for the local lead miners.[4]

The roof-truss, screen, rood, and altar are all made of carved whitened oak, with fittings in the Arts and Crafts style.[3] The walls are rough brick and it has a tiled roof. It includes stained glass by Horace Wilkinson showing the nativity scene.[1]

A cross in the churchyard[5] and the churchyard wall[6] are also listed buildings.

It is part of the benefice of Blagdon with Compton Martin and Ubley within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[7]
