St Sylvester’s Church

St Sylvester’s Church

The church is mainly Perpendicular in style and boasts an embattled west tower with five bells.

The oldest part of the church is the chancel, which was erected early in the 14th century, the north and south aisles were added a century or more later.

There is a fine rood screen of the Dartmouth type, extending across nave and both aisles.

The pulpit has been hollowed out of the trunk of a large oak tree, the outside of which has been shaped into an octagonal form before being richly carved and painted to match the screen.
