The Church
The parish church is dedicated to St Martin & St Keyne, but is sometimes known as St Martin of Tours.
It comprises a chancel, nave, south aisle, south transept and north transept. The chancel end of the south aisle is separated from the other parts of the church by an ancient screen; this is called the Langdon aisle.
There is a north porch with a well-reserved Norman arch, a blocked south porch, a south transept door, a priest's door, a door to the Langdon aisle, and two others which are blocked.
The tower, which is of three stages, is buttressed on the angles, and is finished with battlements and pinnacles; the newell turret rises ten feet above the parapet.
The belfry contains four bells.
