Gidleigh

A good rood screen remains, of fluted Perpendicular character. Katherine of Aragon pomegranates and all the uprights are different. It was repaired in 1848, when it may be that some of the more delicate features disappeared. A quantity of the carved enrichment is attached to the face of the spandrels, and shows Renaissance style designs. The screen bears on the lower panels Victorian paintings of St. Louis, St. George, the Evangelists, and others. The screen has been repainted in gold and blue - thereby replacing the original gold, white, red and green.
