Talland Church
The present church dates from the 13th Century and the bell tower was originally completely detached from the church. The church was enlarged in the 14th and 15th Centuries and reconstructed in the Perpendicular Gothic style, and at this point the bell tower was joined into the church. Much of the mediaeval woodwork and carved pews from the Tudor era have survived. There is also an elegantly carved Elizabethan tomb of Sir John Bevill.
During the 19th Century, part of the churchyard collapsed into the road and the gravestones now lining the path were salvaged from the rubble.
