St Mathew is a pretty Devon church from around the fifteenth century, with aisles that do not stretch as far as the end of the chancel; we can see the finish of the south aisle on the left. Slightly unusual this for Devon, our aisles usually go all the way .
It has some lovely exterior doorways, this priest’s door being atmosphere defined; priest’s doors allowed the rector to enter his chancel directly, and it really was his chancel. He was responsible for its upkeep and here he performed the holy rituals that made all one with the Lord.
The nave, aisles and tower on the other hand belonged to the parish, the upkeep, the decoration, everything; money for all this came out of the parishioners’ pockets or wealthy donors.
