Church of St John the Baptist, Market Street, Hatherleigh - West Devon
Parish church. Late C15 and early C16, restored in 1884. Stone rubble walls, roughly coursed. Gable ended slate roof. Wood shingle spire to tower. Plan: nave, north and south aisles, north transept, three-stage west tower with spire and south porch. Noted for retaining much of its medieval fabric with an impressive interior. The tower masonry in particular is fractured and bulging and in poor condition. Repair and repointing of the eastern gables and gable parapets is also required together with repair of the rood stair roof, and rainwater goods.
