Church of St Andrew


The parish church in the village is dedicated to Saint Andrew. Although it has a 12th-century south doorway it mostly dates from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, having some ornate 16th-century bench ends and late medieval floor-tiles from Barnstaple. It was restored by Bodley & Garner in 1876.[2][3][4]





War Memorial

Historic estates



Thuborough


Thuborough in the south of the parish is now a farmhouse, but it was an estate mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. From about 1500 it belonged to a branch of the Prideaux family and was their seat during the 16th and 17th centuries. The house retains details from this period.[4]
