The early foundation is explained by the fact that the bishopric of devon was created in 909 and it is said that had the church been founded after this date it would have been in the patronage of the bishop or chapter of devon in 1086, not old sarum (reichel,1939). Fireplace in south porch, on east side (phillips).
