Polwhele, Revd. Richard. The history of Devonshire. London: Cadell, Dilly & Murray, 1793-1806. Vol. II. p. 281. "This town (continues Sir W. Pole) hath two churches; the one standing nearly in the midst of the town, and the other about half a mile towards the south, which is the principle church." The last mentioned is the only parochial church at present, situated on the great manor near the centre of the parish. [
] The church, supposed to have been erected about 1482, is built of stone, and covered with lead, shindles (sic), and slate. In form it resembles a cross. It is about 78 feet in length, and 18 in breadth. The tower is a square building, about 63 feet high, containing five bells.[Text may be taken from a different edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
