The Church of St Peniis at Podimore in the parish of Yeovilton, Somerset, England dates from the early 14th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]

The church is built on the site of a previous building which is recorded in the Domesday Book from which time it was under the control of Glastonbury Abbey,[2] who held the advowson until the dissolution of the monasteries.[3]

The church has a chancel, nave and west tower.[3] The tower is in four stages, the lowest is square and the others are octagonal.[1] It contains a single bell which was cast in 1633.[2] Survey work was undertaken on the tower in 2012 for future renovation.[4] The chancel arch is probably the oldest part of the building.[5]

The interior includes altar rails dating from the late 17th century and fragments of glass in the east window which date from the 1490s.[2] There are also traces of wall paintings.[3]

The Anglican parish of Yeovilton with Podimore is part of the benefice of Ilchester with Northover and Limington within the archdeaconry of Wells.[2]
