St Andrew
Cullompton, Devon
A church has stood here since Saxon times and the present St Andrew's has had many owners.
It is built from red sandstone and white Beer stone and dates from the 14th century. Most of the rest of the church dates from a century or so later.
The interior contains much of interest.
At the west end is a handsome gallery dated 1632, while stretching across the nave and south aisle is a rood screen that is one of the best of its kind in Devon. It carries the arms of John Whiting, a merchant venturer who built the south aisle and who is buried there. He died in 1529 and is buried here with his wife, Anne.
Also buried here is Mary Wotton, great aunt to Lady Jane Grey.
