Architectural Features
C15, greatly restored 1847.
![As one enters [[[7844194]]] the arch of the porch has carved heads on both imposts. The ones seen here are on the southern side of the arch. They are thought to predate the main fabric of the church (which is c.1300) by about 200 years as they are likely Norman.
For their compatriots on the north side of the arch, see [[[7844249]]]

2 more Norman heads inside porch.
Pointed inner doorway with hoodmould probably circa 1300.
Reset C15 Perpendicular window central to coped nave gable with niche over.

All similar to other C15 windows except 2 light one to left of porch.
South transept probably rebuilt 1847 has reset 2- light circa 1300 freestone window to west and east wall.
Strings divide stages with carved heads and symbols in cove under parapet.
South window to first stage is C15 Perpendicular insertion.
Battlements and crocketed corner pinnacles to parapet are probably C15.
Interior has C15 8-bay arcade between nave chancel and north aisle.
Granite standard A-type (Pevsner) piers have limestone capitals with leaf carving.
Nave roof incorporates braces, bosses and purlins of C15 waggon roofs.
Circa 1300 rear arches to tower and original stone newel stair.
Fittings include clock by Richard Wills circa 1790 - 1800, 6 bells, , Bodmin type font with granite circular bowl with wave and ware carving and carved heads over 4 shafts each with bases having 4 carved heads possibly Norman.
It is thought that the carving on the perimeter of the bowl is probably Norman (dating from the C11th-early C12th) but that the bowl has been recut and that the shafts and central pier supporting it are somewhat younger (e.g. C15th).
Framing and 2 carved panels survive from rood screen.
Monuments included Baroque one with cherubs and coat of arms to John Trevanion 1712, Jeremiah Trist, d. 1829 and one to Arthur Kempe, d. 1823, of Crugsillick, Admiral of the Red Squadron of His Majesty's Fleet and who assisted at the Battle of Quebec in 1759.
