St Constantine
Milton Abbot
Devon
Some evidence of C14 work, mostly C15, substantially restored in the late C19.
Architectural Features
Three 3-light granite Perpendicular east windows with hoodmoulds, the tracery is probably C15 but the mullions appear to have been replaced.
In the westernmost bay of the aisle there is a C15 shallow-moulded arched priest's doorway with pyramid stops and a hoodmould.
A projecting 5-sided stair turret to the former rood screen is in the bay next to the north east porch.
A rectangular glazed opening at bellringers' stage has a cinquefoil-headed light and carved spandrels.
The porch has a C19 ceiled waggon roof with moulded ribs and carved wall plate and bosses, slate benches.
The steeply- pointed narrow inner doorway with deep moulding and a hoodmould may be C14.
The west respond of the north aisle may be C14 - it has a different moulding and a taller capital and shorter pier than the rest of the arcade.
Roofs throughout are ceiled wagons with moulded ribs and carved bosses.
The nave roof has a carved wall plate and the bosses appear to be original.
The chancel has C19 tiling and a circa 1930s reredos with a carving of the last supper recessed behind panels with traceried canopies.
The font is probably C19 with an octagonal bowl carved with blind quatrefoils alternating with other motifs on an octagonal stem with blind traceried panels.
The late C19 timber pulpit is octagonal on a tall stem with moulded ribs and has deeply-cut blind traceried panels.
A painted Royal Arms of William IV hangs in the tower.
A wall monument to William Salmon, died 1750 has Corinthian columns flanking the inscription panel with a broken pediment above containing armorial bearings.
