Chawleigh Devon
Looking east down the 15c nave past early 16c granite arcade with round headed arches to the south aisle , including one overlapping into chancel
There is no chancel arch, instead there is an early 16c oak rood screen of 12 bays which was " faithfully renovated" in 1910 according to brass plaque, and includes an empty doorway to the chancel & south chapel. In each bay the wainscotting has two panels of applied Perpendicular tracery
There are ceiled wagon roofs throughout. The similar roofs to nave and aisle appear wholly 19c whilst the more ornate chancel wagon roof with its small panels, cross braces and carved bosses may include 16c carpentry . It has unusual delicate openwork wall plate, more the type of carving to be expected on a rood screen.
Throughout are 19c wrought iron lamp brackets .
The south Radford chapel now houses the 1927 organ
