rebuilt by Rev. H T Ellacombe in 1854-5, and this in turn was reduced to ruins by an

Ellacombe's work) was completed in 1952. Coursed rubble Heavitree stone. Slate
roof. West tower, nave, north aisle, south porch, chancel, south-east vestry.

only, 3 set-offs. 2-light pointed belfry openings to all sides; single-light
square-headed ringing chamber window to south; renewed 3-light west window; west
