St Mary The Virgin

Huxham

Devon

The original C14 church was entirely rebuilt, the chancel in 1864 by John Hayward, the nave in 1871 by Benjamin Ferrey.

Architectural Features

Much of the stonework was badly decayed within a short time of the 1871 rebuilding and it is difficult to determine whether or not medieval stonework was anywhere re-used.

Font: Norman, bowl with spiral roll moulding waisted by cable moulding below, the rim decorated with roundels and nailheads set up on C19 base.

Glass: Medieval fragments in chancel north and south windows.

Piscina: Medieval trefoil-headed, in chancel south wall.

presumably late C15 or early C16, although the tracery work seemed to Pevsner to 'look exceptionally early'.
