Dramatic tower gargoyles
A twelfth-century church, with two exceptional honey-coloured Norman arcades in the nave with delicately carved capitals.
The splendid fifteenth-century tower is adorned with dramatic gargoyles and there is a complete ring of four fifteenth-century bells from the Exeter Foundry.
