~ The Holy Names, Boyton ~ |
|
|
Boyton sits almost on the
border between Devon and Cornwall, the surrounding country gives
pleasant views over wooded hills and valleys with Dartmoor prominent
in the distance. The tower dates from the fourteenth century and
some of the earlier Norman building can be seen in the chancel, a
strange goose like creature has been carved on one of the roof
bosses. |
| The font claimed by some to be Saxon is a simple, crude
bowl standing on a pillar. The ancient screen has some fine carving
particularly on the sixteenth century base. |
