 This church is very unusual in having a tower over the crossing and not as usual at the west end.Only a few other churches in Devon display this feature, for example at Crediton, Colyton and Axminster.The "Bourchier Pew" (or "Manorial Pew") in the north transept was made in about 1550 in Franco-Flemish early Renaissance style, and decorated with Bourchier knots, it was used by the lords of the manor of Tawstock.
