The Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Taunton, Somerset. Described as having: "the noblest parish tower in England."

In Simon Jenkins’ England’s Thousand Best Churches (Penguin Books, 2000) the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Taunton, Somerset is described as having: “the noblest parish tower in England.” 

On a recent visit to the centre of Taunton I took some photos of St. Mary’s tower and south porch.  It was a fine day and I was pleased with the results.
