ABOUT THE BUILDING
A collegiate church was founded here in c. 1050
and dedicated to St Nectan, but the main
surviving fabric dates from the 14th and 15th
centuries. The church was restored c. 1850 and
in 1910-1911, but retains much early fabric and
features. It comprises nave, chancel, north and
south aisles, transept chapels and porches, and
the 128ft high west tower. Features of the
interior include a 14th-century trefoiled piscina
in the chancel; restored medieval wagon roofs; a
fine 15th-century rood screen, with evidence of
ancient colouring throughout; a restored medieval
pulpit; and a late Norman font. The bells were
cast in 1826. Throughout the church are 60 mural
monuments on the walls and floors.
