Church (consecration Unknown)

Langtree

Devon

C15 to early C16, restored in 1865 - 6.

Architectural Features

The nave and tower may be pre-Perpendicular but exhibit features mostly dating only to the C15.

The north aisle has late C15/early C16 windows but these may date from a remodelling rather than rebuilding of the church.

On its north face are 5 early C16 3-light stone mullion windows in relatively original state.

Restored Tudor arched priest's door between them.

Nave has 3- light partly restored early C16 window with 4-centred treads towards west end

C19 4-light C15 style mullion window towards east end.

Gabled south porch with chamfered round-arched rubble doorway and slate sundial in gable dated 1641.

Interior: possibly C14 red sandstone south doorway with 2-centred head and rebated hollow chamfer.

The Old wagon roofs survive with simply moulded and chamfered ribs, carved bosses and wall-plate, crenellated to the nave.

Good 5-sided late C17 pulpit richly carved with festoons and angel heads, acanthus leaves in frieze and bolection moulded panels.

C15 octagonal granite font with panels carved in quatrefoils, crosses and other religious emblems.

Royal Coat of Arms on north wall is, unusually in plaster relief with angel head in pediment above, columns either side with stiff leaf capitals surmounted by obelisks which have strapwork motifs in their pedestals - a curiously archaic design for George I - whose arms are depicted - and George II whose name is recorded.

Good pedimented wall memorial of 1688 in north aisle to Abraham Bamfield Gent incorporating marble panel with column either side.

There are several C18 floor memorials at the east end of the nave.

The 2 sanctuary chairs incorporate probably French C17 carved panels depicting Christ bearing the cross and the descent from the cross.

The altar also has a carved wooden panel depicting Christ with the disciples at Emmaus.
