The Church of St. Peter & St. Paul is a Church of England parish church at Combe Florey, in the Taunton area of Somerset. It is protected at Grade I, recognising its exceptional historic and architectural importance. The parish belongs to a group of local churches in the Taunton archdeaconry.
Although parts of the fabric survive from the thirteenth century, most of the church dates to the fifteenth century. Old Red Sandstone is used for the main structure, with Hamstone detailing at the openings. Its plan includes a nave of three bays, a northern aisle and a three-stage tower at the west end, while the chancel was rebuilt during the Victorian period. Inside are several memorials, including one associated with sculptor John Michael Rysbrack, together with three fourteenth-century stone figures. Sydney Smith served as rector between 1829 and his death in 1845.
