E. by E.) from Barnstaple. The church is a fine specimen of the later English style; the nave and chancel are separated by a handsomely-carved wooden screen, and the pulpit, which is of stone, is ornamented with figures of saints. A room above the vestry contains some suits of ancient armour; and the church has several monuments to the Chichester family. There are places of worship for '''dissenters'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=51323&strquery=Swimbridge ''A Topographical Dictionary of England''] (1848), pp. 286-289.</ref> | ||
