removable internal glazed partition.
Exterior. South side: porch set well to the west, under catslide, but with 3-bay

light square-headed windows set high under eaves. Nave south wall with a set of
triple and double trefoil-headed lancets with buttress between. Chancel with single

to west and east, the whole corbelled out over nave east gable wall. 3-light
Decorated east window, with diagonal buttresses to east wall.
West end with triple lancets under brick superordinate window arch. Clasping
buttresses.
North side: transeptally placed hall, the roof half-hipped, treated with a variety
of window types, and a tall external stack to the east. Lancets to nave and
chancel.
Interior: nave of 4 bays; double-chamfered chancel arch. Roof principals scissor-
braced with arched brace collars. Low chancel screen and contemporary chancel
furniture and nave benches; sanctuary with tiled floor and dado. Patterned glass

Summary: a carefully organised design successfully integrating secular and
ecclesiastical components, with imaginative use of materials and attention to
detailing, all done on a limited budget. A good example of this important C19 Devon
architect's work.
