St Matthew's Church[edit]
The parish church of St Matthew has a 13th-century baptismal font, and an alms box predating King Charles I.
Monuments[edit]
In the church of St Matthew is a mural monument to Elizabeth Courtenay (d.1624), a daughter of Philip III Courtenay (1547-1611) of Molland by his wife Joane Boyes (d.1586), daughter of John Boyes of Kent. Elizabeth married in 1600[1] to the Hollander Peter Muden, a doctor of medicine, of Butterleigh. Shortly before 1600 Muden had enlarged the parish church[2] and later erected the existing mural monument to his wife which contains a female effigy between two children with verse.[3]
