The western gallery was present on a document dated 1618 and rebuilt to become the Pilot’s Gallery in 1705. It houses a nationally significant collection of funerary hatchments dating back to 1673, unusual for having four women, three admirals, four captains and local dignitaries.
The churchyard includes readable headstones dating back to 1650 and the tomb of Sir Francis Samuel Drake. There is also what we believe is a fine example of a medieval dole table.
The church offers self-guided tours using information sheets provided.
