The church of St Mary the Virgin is a building of stone, in the Early English and later styles, consisting of chancel, nave, aisles, south porch and a fine embattled western tower with a turret, containing 6 bells, all cast in 1767, and a clock,  presented in 1895 by Mrs. Manning: The nave is early decorated, dating from about 1375: the chancel and base of the tower are early English: the font is Norman: two windows in the vestry contain ancient stained glass, including the arms of the Burnaby family: The other windows have modern stained glass as memorials to Thomas Ellis Manning and his relatives: the window in the tower is a memorial to Oliver Veale Pengelly, formerly of this parish: in 1891-2 the church was thoroughly restored and re-seated in oak and a carved oak pulpit erected at a cost of about £2,000, by the late Mrs. Manning, who also presented a richly-carved alabaster reredos, and relaid the chancel floor with highly-polished Devonshire and Irish marble as a memorial to her sister, Mrs. Mary Yonge, who died in 1891: the screen was removed in 1829: the nave will seat 180 persons. The register dates from the year 1555. The living is a rectory, net yearly value £538, with residence, in the gift of the bishop of Exeter, and held since 1920 by the Rev. Robert Kinninmouth Bennett.
