St Andrew

Coryton

Devon

C13 chancel, C15 nave, C16 tower, 1840s porch, north aisle of 1885.

Architectural Features

C13 plan probably nave and chancel, C13 chancel walling survives.

Nave rebuilt in the C15, west tower added C16, non-alignment of chancel, nave and tower may be due to the site.

2 probably C13 lancets in the south wall of the chancel, the western most chamfered.

Square font on 4-corner shafts, the bowl probably C 15, the rest of the interior is largely 1885.

1885 arched panel and rib chancel roof with carved bosses.

1885 benches and contemporary rectangular pulpit with chamfered corners and blind tracery.

1894 brass to Thomas Newman, fixed to north wall of aisle.

Although the 1885 restoration is not very distinguished, the C16 tower and, particularly, the C13 chancel makes this a grade II* building.
