St Mary's



This church stands next to the Carew manor. A flint and stone church, it was built in 1387 through a legacy of Sir Nicholas Carew and the tower, porch, and chancel are from then. The Carew chapel was added in the mid 15th. A stained glass window by Clayton and Bell was given by Canon Bridges, along with the Organ Gallery by Morris & Co. There is a table-tomb to Sir Richard Carew, governor of Calais, and his wife and an alabaster monument to Sir ‘Francis Carew 1611.
