St Mary's Church
St Mary's church dates from mediaeval times and was dedicated the Bishop of Exeter in 1259. The tower dates from the 15th century, but the rest was largely rebuilt in 1806. The tower was left untouched as it was used as a navigational landmark. The 1806 building was replaced again in 1882. By the 1980s, the church was declared redundant by the Church of England. In the 1990s, it was converted into sheltered accommodation by the Westcountry Housing Association.
