Chivelstone

There is a fine rood screen of the Dartmouth type, extending across nave and both aisles. The groining is gone and the spandrels are filled with the remains of the old carving. There are painted figures of Apostles and bishops on the lower panels of the chancel screen, in the aisles the panels are decorated with arabesque patterns. There are north and south parclose screens. The arabesque panels may suggest that the aisles date after 1536 when Henry VIII broke with Rome, but before 1549 when Edward VI was finalising the English Reformation.
