St Andrew

C13 features survive in the chancel and tower, the latter also said to have some traces of earlier work.

The south aisle and porch were added in the C15.

Exterior: The chancel has a probably C13 3-light Early English east window with intersecting tracery, medieval masonry surviving on the exterior, the splayed internal jambs probably a C19 rebuilding

The lean-to vestry on the north side is said to be 1846 (church guide) but re-uses a 2-light square-headed cuspid medieval east window.

2 stage C13 transeptal north tower with diagonal buttresses, battlements and corner pinnacles

C19 floor tiles and door, medieval ceiled wagon roof.

4-bay granite south arcade with diagonally-set shafts to the piers, moulded capitals and shallow-moulded Tudor arches.

Ceiled wagon roofs throughout, probably late medieval, except the easternmost section in the nave which appears to be a C20 replacement.

The rather odd black and white colour scheme, presumably C20 but rather C17 in character, has obscured much of the carved detail on the roof.

On the north side a tomb recess (possibly an Easter Sepulchre) with carved spandrels and blind tracery on the back, the arch decorated with fleurons.

The remains of a medieval figure survives on the back under a crocketted ogee arch - the figure may be God the Father holding a miniature figure of the crucified Christ.

The nave has a good 1848 stone drum pulpit on a stem, the sides with tracery panels and a text in carved Gothic script below the cornice, which is decorated with fleurons.

C15 font, unusually well-preserved and unaltered with an octagonal bowl, the faces carved alternately with trefoil-headed panels and quatrefoil, with an old lead lining.

Tomb recess in south wall of the aisle with carved spandrels and fleurons decorating the arch.

Numerous C16

C17 ledger stones pave the nave and aisle with C19 tiled borders.

In the east end of the aisle late medieval Barnstaple tiles survive with a variety of motifs.

A probable C13 oak chest with iron banding survives in the nave.

The tower has a probably C13 2-centred chamfered stone doorframe into the stair turret.

Royal Arms of George IV.

Monuments: The chancel has a white marble wall monument with a brattished frame commemorating Ann Loveband, died 1827.

Late C17 wall monument to John Pollard, died 1667, with a Latin inscription and 2 busts in medallions.

In the nave a wall monument on the north wall commemorates John Loveband, died 1818.

The monument looks much earlier: black marble with reeded pilasters and an oval inscription tablet and an urn above.

In one of the roof panels above this monument a painted text has a decorated plaster frame, the text reads "Let me die the death of the rightous (sic) and let my last end be like his (Numbers 23c 10v)".

Glass: Clayton and Bell east window with a memorial date of 1867.

In the east window of the aisle fragment of C15 medieval stained glass include armorial bearings and a winged figure.
