Parish Church (dedication Unknown)

Loxbeare

Devon

South doorway C12, tower possibly C12 or C13 in origin but much remodelled and could be later, remainder of fabric probably early rather than late Medieval.

Architectural Features

2- light possibly medieval Ham Hill west window with Tudor arched lights.

The porch has a plain plaster barrel ceiling and a C12 inner doorway with a surviving outer order of zig-zags and the remnants of zig-zag decoration on the tympanum.

Pre C19 features include a rectangle of medieval tiles below the east window, circa early C18 bobbin-turned altar rails and a pretty late C17 pulpit with sounding board: the pulpit a slender drum with a carved cornice and knots and drapery carved on the drum.
