The original church is dated to the 15th century and the original settlement of Awliscombe is likely to be Saxon in origin. Inside, the church screen has been described as being, “ one of the splendid survivals of the best craftsmanship of medieval Devon .”The floor of the church slopes upwards from west to the east and is actually a case of “walking up the aisle.”Outside, the porch is early 16th century and is curious in having two openings and on the left side pillar incised into the stone is “THE BRIDES HAND.”The cache is not here but you need to know the inscribed date on the hand to locate the small white container.
