Bere Ferrers, Devon
The bench-ends are old, but with the exception of two they are all carved with geometrical patterns. At the east end of the aisle one is carved with the arms of the Ferrers family - five rudders, and four horseshoes. (. The Ferrers family originated from Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire in Normandy, an ironworking site making Horse shoes, farriers "capable of shoeing all types of equine feet")
On another is the achievement of Willoughby de Broke who is buried in the transept www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/64BLZdJw02
