Powderham
There is a screen across chancel and aisle, the chancel portion consists of three bays and two half bays fitted between the pillars, in the aisle there three bays, both portions retain the doors. It is doubtful if the screen was made for the church, and it is certainly not in its original position. Parts may be remains of the original Powderham screen, but of the rest it is difficult to give the origin, as the 11th Earl of Devon [1807-1888] was a collector of old carved oak, and it might have come from more than one place. The upper part of the screen was restored in 1853, the groining is gone, and the spandrel spaces filled in with carving; there is a modern cross over the central doorway. The lower panels have paintings of saints, which are obviously additions, but from whence they came there is no evidence to prove.
