St Andrew

remodelled in early C16 and restored in mid C19 by William Cubitt and reopened in 1875.

Plan and development: The C13 church was probably only a nave

chancel which appear to have been enlarged in C14 by the addition of a north aisle

possibly the west tower, although the tower might have been largely rebuilt in the early C16 when the whole church was remodelled and enlarged with a south aisle and integral porch.

to its right a slate monument to Dorothy Tawley died 1728.

The north aisle has similar C19 Perpendicular style windows except for the centre window which is C16 and has 3 round-headed lights and a hoodmould with stops and the easternmost which is a Medieval Beerstone Perpendicular traceried window.

Both the 3-light east windows of the aisles are Medieval and granite, that of the north aisle with panel tracery, the south aisle east window has simple tracery with round-headed lights.

The floors are paved in late C19 tiles.

Rood screen of arch 1547 across nave and aisles largely complete but canopy is missing

one of the bench ends fixed to the base is dated 1633.

The base and panels of the pulpit are C16 with Gothic foliage between the panels which have canopied niches - a Renaissance style frieze with a Jacobean billeted cornice.

Reredos of 1892 in carved alabaster.

The rest of the furnishings are late C19 including benches in nave and aisles, the choir stalls and the carved wooden eagle lecturn.

The marble font is circa 1900.

Good series of wall monuments: Marble monument in chancel to Revd Nathaniel Wells d. 1762, signed M Emes Exon and other Gothick monuments in chancel to members of the Wells family one signed Weeks.

At the east end of south aisle an early C17 monument with kneeling figures in an aedicule

a brass to John Fortescue 1595 and wife and a fragment of a brass to right with one kneeling figure and tablet above dated 1572 with a shield.

Also in the chancel south chapel a Fortescue wall monument of 1821 and 3 C17 local marble ledger stones to the Fortescues.

There are two other C17 slate ledger stones in the south aisle and a Gothick wall monument to Fortescue Wells died 1861.

Large classical marble wall monument to members of Fortescue family at west end of south aisle.

In the chancel north chapel an unusual wall monument with a laurel wreath around a heart inscribed to memory of Elizabeth Wood and above an undated monument to members of the Scobell family of Nutcombe (probably late C18).

Stained glass: Most of the Windows have C19 plain glass with red borders but there is a small fragment of Medieval glass in one of the north chapel windows.

The east and west windows have late C19 pictorial glass in memory of Mrs Fortescue and William Cubitt respectively.
