Torbryan

The church is a perfect example of the Gothic Perpendicular style and was unusually constructed in one 20-year building campaign between 1450 and 1470. The superb, soaring tower rises in three stages, and has an octagonal stair turret which forms a dramatic architectural feature.

The screen dates from around 1470 and is one of the best in Devon. In this remote parish the locals seem to have had a passion for some unusual saints - or maybe monks from a nearby abbey chose for them.
