Today it is part of the parish of Ilchester with Northover, one of the three parishes which constitute the Ilchester Distrcit Churches [1]. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
