About this Church
A special place to visit for any doctors or nurses
Sitting next to a farmyard, this unusual and interesting church is almost as broad as it is long, and its dedication is to the patron saints of physicians and surgeons. The twin brothers gave their medical services for free and performed many miracles on the sick.
The roof was constructed in about 1540; two massive early sixteenth-century timber screens go right across the church and there is a Jacobean pulpit in the middle.
The two beautiful fourteenth-century stone effigies are probably members of the Delabere family who lived locally.
