The church was built in 1450, and consists of chancel, nave, north aisle, separated from nave by three arches resting on columns having capitals carved with figures holding shields, transept, south porch, and west tower with five bells.
This is a modern church and has therefore no claim to come under the title Some Old Devon Churches, but it is such an exceptionally fine church, and has such a magnificent rood screen, that I think an account and illustration of it would be acceptable.
The roof of nave and aisles is of stone; the font consists of a figure of St. John the Baptist with staff and banner holding a shell for the baptismal water.
