2/137 The Parish Church of Holy Trinity 30.6.61 GV II
Parish church. 1844; architect unknown; built at the expense of Marianne Pidsley, and consecrated in 1844 when Woodbury Salterton became an ecclesiastical parish distinct from Woodbury. Random rubble; some of the stone, especially at the west end and for part of the north wall, is Salcombe Regis stone re-used from the medieval tithe barn at Woodbury demolished for the purpose; also some Heavitree and Exmouth sandstone. Decorated slate gabled-end roof with heavy gable coping. Nave, chancel, south porch, north-east vestry. The west end gable was originally surmounted by a bellcote. South side, 4 bays to nave including the porch; windows of 2 lights of geometrical Decorated tracery; buttresses with 2 off-sets, set back at angle; north side 4 identical window bays; large 4-light west window; cusped lancets to chancel (which is much lower than, and carefully distinguished from, the nave); 3-light geometrical Decorated window. Crisp stonecarving to hood mould terminals and numerous biblical texts, even on the buttresses. Interior: tall, with arched-brace roof with kingposts; chancel arch of Heavitree originally painted to resemble Beer stone. Contemporary furnishings. The church is strikingly tall and makes an impressive contribution to the village scene.
