However it looks C15.
Parts may derive from the C13 church.
If so it was also renovated in the C15 and in 1884 it was lengthened and a new vestry was built on the north side.
Semi-octagonal stair turret on the north side rising a little higher than the tower with its own embattled parapet, tiny slit windows and surmounted by a brass weather cock.

The east end contains a large 3-light window with Decorated tracery and a hoodmould with ball labels carved as fruiting vine.
High lean-to roof with 4-panel interesecting beam ceiling, moulded beams and central carved oak boss featuring a rose.
The south doorway is a Tudor arch with a moulded surround enriched with fourleaf decoration and with large roll stops.
It has moulded ribs and purlins and good carved oak bosses.
The crenellated wall plate is carried round shield-shaped corbels below each truss-and these are carved with heraldic badges.
The responds are moulded exactly the same as the arcades with caps to the shafts only which are carved with fleur-de-lys and flowers.
The piers are moulded (Pevsner's Type B) with caps to the shafts, which are also carved with a variety of floral and foliate motifs.
Its corbel is carved with a green man motif below a cornice of 4- leaf decoration.
Halfway along the south side is the C15 trefoil-headed piscina marking the position of the altar before the chancel was lengthened.
The walls are whitewashed but probably what were C16 painted frescoes were discovered on the aisle walls in the C19.
The oldest is the remarkable late C16 graveslab set in a prime position in the nave in memory of Joan Raleigh, widow of Otto Gilbert and first wife of Walter, father of Sir Walter Raleigh.
The oak chancel screen is C15 although much repaired.

On each corner are small saintly figures, one on top of the other with nodding ogee canopies.
Each side has a Biblical scene delciately carved in high relief with canopies and undercut tracery and under the top a cornice of carved foliage.
The Gothic sytle lectern may be as late as C20.
The glory of the church is its complete set of C16 oak benches of high quality workmanship.
Most of the bench ends have a frame of wreathed foliage with small urn stops around a carved panel.
the Raleigh pew dated 1537 and featuring a shield (the arms are defaced) with greyhound supporters and above a helmet in profile with antler crests
a C16 ship riding the sea with a castle, possibly Plymouth Barbican, in the corner, and others bearing arms, symbols of trade, individual profiles including some obvious characatures.
The C19 reseating created more space which has been made up with C20 benches, their ends carved to complement the originals.
There is a band of carved foliage around the base and the stem has blind cinquefoil-headed arcade around over a moulded base.
Memorials: there are no monuments in the chancel but, north of the altar hangs a large painting of the Virgin and Child in Pre-Raphaelite style signed E.Aveling Green, 1900.
A painted board with the royal arms also hangs on the north wall of the chancel.
Over the north arcade are white marble monuments on grey-black grounds
Most of the monuments are found in the south aisle.
the best are those similar two in memory of Samuel Waley and John Hine Also a good Gothic style white marble memorial to George Compton Read his wife Maria their thier children Chandos and Catherine: the surround stands well proud of the plaque and features on ornate cusped arched enriched with crockets and a large poppyhead finial and carried on half-engaged columns with carved foliate caps.
Also here and spreading to the rear of the nave are a number of brass plaques to members of the Torriano Family
The north aisle has a notable white marble plaque on grey-black grounds, the best is the memorial to Henry Flanke which includes a framing lamp and is signed Kingwill of Sidmouth.
Some of the C19 stained glass was designed by Fulford as part of the 1884 renovation and were made by Drake
and there is some early C20 stained glass in Art Nouveau style in the chancel.
A good if unremarkable C15 Perpendicular-church boldy situated at the top of East Budleigh Village High Street.
The church however is most remarkable for its complete set of early C16 oak benches with their wonderful secular early C16 bench ends which are so evocative of the families and occupations of East Budleigh at the time.
