reordered - Clyst St Mary, Devon

The church , is possibly 13c in origin, with 15c extensions. ; the transepts were added in 1818 & lengthened in 1870 & further extensions in 1840
Of cruciform design with west tower, unusually the church's main axis is since 1895 - 6 now north – south and the main altar is at the north end, the former transepts (with crossing) function as nave and chancel; & the former nave and chancel now act as transepts. The tower is encased within the width of the (former) nave which was probably widened at that time.
A clock is set in the north wall. There is also a north-east lean to vestry entered by the north porch.

Inside are ceiled wagon roofs to the present nave and chancel and a boarded wagon roof to old chancel. There is a stone arch to the former chancel & a wooden arch (1895-6) to present chancel. Three 1870s windows are by Lavers, Barraud and Westlake,
