chancel chapel arches C14, the rest C15

Of the C12 church only the font remains.

The C14 church had a south chancel chapel and the surviving respond and arch of the chancel and a respond to the chancel chapel arch are close enough to work at Kelly church (q.v.) to suggest the same shop of masons.

In the late C15 the nave, chancel and chancel chapel were remodelled and the west tower was built.

The south aisle and south porch are post Reformation (Honey) financed by William Harris of Hayne who purchased the manor in 1555.

The south chancel chapel has a coped east gable and a deeply-recessed 3-light Perpendicular east window with a hoodmould and a square-headed 3-light C16 south window with hoodmould, label stops and replaced mullions.

The south aisle of roughly-dressed coursed stone with some slate lacing has 2 C19 buttresses with set-offs and 4 3-light square-headed C19 stone windows and one 3- light square-headed C16 granite window all with hoodmoulds and label stops.

The rectangular 1871 vestry has a chamfered granite doorway on the east side, and a 3- light square-headed window on the north side with hoodmould and label stops, the heads of the lights look C16.

To the west of the vestry is an arched chamfered pulpit window.

Large 2-storey C16 porch with embattled parapet has a polygonal corner stair turret on the west side and moulded arched doorway with carved spandrels under a square-headed hoodmould with carved label stops.

The fine C15 3-stage embattled west tower has ashlar set-back buttresses with set-offs and an internal north-west stair turret with quatrefoil lights.

The arched moulded west doorway has carved spandrels below a square-headed hoodmould with carved label stops.

The C14 moulded freestone chancel arch is carried on a moulded freestone north respond with a carved capital (q.v. Kelly church) and on a large granite corbel to the south.

The C19 granite arch into the south chancel chapel has a similar arrangement with a C14 respond to the south and a C19 granite corbel to the north.

The heavily-moulded tower arch springs high up from carved capitals on moulded shafts.

Ceiled waggons to the nave and to the chancel are boarded, with ribs with fleurons and carved bosses and look largely medieval.

A trefoil-headed piscina on the south wall could be C14.

Fine C12 font with a square bowl with chamfered corners below 4 carved heads with angular profiles, the sides of the bowl carved with intersecting round-headed blind arcading, leaves and dog tooth ornament.

5-sided timber drum pulpit of 1910 has pierced tracery sides on a stem with struts.

1910 timber eagle lectern on elaborate pinnacled base.

2 C16 panels with arabesque carving, possibly part of a screen, fixed to the west wall.

A C17 monument in coloured marbles to members of the Harris family dominates the north wall of the chancel.

3 alabaster three quarter size figures kneel on a moulded half-chest on a plinth.

The figures are divided by 4 Roman Ionic columns supporting an entablature crowned by 4 obelisks and 3 tall gabled inscription panels with putti lounging on the pediments.

The monument is probably 1630 and commemorates Sir William, Sir Arthur and Lady Florence Harris, died 1590, 1618 and 1631.

An inscription states that it was repaired and beautified in 1762 and 1795. a monument on the south wall of the chancel chapel commemorates John and Margaret Dynham of Wortham (q.v.) died 1641 and 1649.

A central cartouche with an armorial bearing in relief is flanked by Corinthian columns supporting a pediment containing a bearded figure, putti and obelisks above, inscription panel below.

A brass plaque to John Harris de Hayne, died 1657 with armorial bearings above an inscription is fixed to the north wall of the chancel chapel.

Royal arms of William IV on the north wall of the nave.
