Church of st. Winwaloe. The fabric is mainly late medieval but the existence of transepts suggests an earlier core. Exterior plastered. Good two-storeyed porch which, like the aisle, is embattled. Main roof original and of plastered wagon type. Good but mutilated rood screen, richly carved, with figure paintings on the wainscot. Font c15 (doe).

Despite early origins no visible masonry pre-dating the C13. Traces of cruciform church with nave chancel + 2 transepts survive of probably C12-C13 date. N porch added in C13-C14 + aisles + tower in C15. Rood screen also of C15.

South West Archaeology Ltd. monitored the drilling of four boreholes within the Church of St. Winwaloe at East Portlemouth, Salcombe, Devon. This work followed a GPR survey that appeared to identify buried walls and a possible vault (‘broad crested anomaly’) beneath the nave of the church. However, only one of the boreholes produced any evidence for walling, in the form of loose stone rubble presumably within a robber trench. The other three cores contained only typical brown grave earth deposits. The ‘broad crested anomaly’ could not be located. A second GPR survey failed to identify the ‘broad crested anomaly’ and concluded it was a rare artificial anomaly caused by the radar power cable.
