Architectural Features
Slate roof to nave, chancel and aisles with crested ridge tiles and granite coping stones and kneelers.
Perpendicular throughout except for C13 chancel.
The gabled porch appears to have been added as it partially overlaps a buttress of the south aisle, probably late C15.
The wall-plates to the chancel also have a series of carved decorative and symbolic medallions.
The south chapel also has a piscina in its south wall with trefoil-headed opening and carved spandrels.
Fine late C15 timber screen running across nave and both aisles but much mutilated by restoration probably mainly dating from the work of Rev W H Thornton 1874-6 who wrote in 1899 that he had "blended into the church of North Bovey all sorts of spoils from all sorts of Churches".
It is Pevsner Type A with Perpendicular lights and pointed tracery with at least 3 different types of panelling and the carving in the spandrels mutilated and considerably replaced with fragments from other screens.
The chancel doorway has jambs decorated with carved figures each standing under a crocketed canopy as at nearby Manaton Church.
Parclose screens either side of chancel with square-headed tracery and doorways, each has 1 early carved bench end attached at the west side of the doorway.
The altar in the south chapel is comprised of panels of Medieval panelling, possibly re-used, similar to the panelling of the screen, restored in its original colours.
Below him are 2 Tudor roses in circular plaques beneath which is a plant with a human face sprouting from the top.
Granite octagonal font with carved panels on each face and moulded pedestal.
The carved oak pulpit dates from 1910 and replaces an C18 one.
Fragments of Medieval glass survive in the upper tracery of the north window to the north chapel portraying the emblems of the 4 evangelists.
The remainder of the window glass is mid-late C19 and early C20, some of which are commemorative.
On the north side the glass is frosted while on the south side it is clear.
There are a number of C17 granite tomb slabs in the aisles and nave, some decorative, whilst in the chancel are granite memorial slabs to former rectors including William Hambert and George Line Sources: The Church of North Bovey in Devonshire" - Mrs. R.
