Luffincott

Devon

Some C15 features, largely rebuilt in the late C18, C20 renovations.

Architectural Features

Stone rubble with granite and polyphant dressings, slate roof with C19 crested ridge tiles.

The dimensions of the building may be C13, the extant fabric retains some late C15 Perpendicular features but was thoroughly rebuilt in the late C18 in a plain Gothic style reusing old masonry.

The south side of the nave has a datestone of 1761 and 2 late C15 2-light square-headed granite windows with cusped lights, hoodmoulds and label stops.

The north side has a foliage carved late C15 wallplate, probably originally sited inside the church, and is remarkable for having its medieval windows replaced with two 24-pane sashes, probably dating from 1761, or earlier in the C18.

Circa late C15 boarded waggon roof with carved bosses and chamfered ribs carved with flowers, some ancient colour survives.

Plain octagonal granite font on octagonal stem could be medieval.

Several C17 ledger stones pave the nave.
