S. E.) from Newton-Abbot. The church was formerly collegiate, being endowed with the great tithes of Haccombe and Quethiock (in Cornwall) for the support of an arch-priest and five inferior priests. It contains some curious screen-work, and a pulpit and communion-table carved in stone, also a painting of the Descent from the Cross, and some ancient monuments of exquisite beauty to the Haccombe family and others; the windows are of coloured glass, representing the Ascension and other scriptural subjects.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50995&strquery=Haccombe A Topographical Dictionary of England]'' (1848), pp. 362-366.</ref> | ||
