Excerpt from Devon Notes Queries, Vol. 4: A Quarterly Journal Devoted to the Local History, Biography and Antiquities of the County of Devon; From January 1906 to October 1907

The tracery of all the windows except two is geometrical. Much Of this tracery is new work, but the original pattern has been adhered to. The two exceptions are the windows in the north wall of the nave. These are single lights, placed high up with deep splays, and are probably Of the same date as the Early English portions of the church. A string course runs along the north wall of the nave, half-way up, and returns under the west window, but is continued only for a few feet in the south wall.

The central tower contains eight bells, and is supported on four arches Opening into the nave, the chance], and the two transepts respectively. The belfry is approached by a spiral stair in a circular turret outside the south-west angle of the tower, with a conical roof, which roof, however, is modern. Formerly the entrance to this staircase was in the west wall Of the south transept.
