| 説明 | Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Washfield, Devon dates from the 15c replacing an earlier Norman building. It stands on a hill in the centre of the villageThe manor was in the family of Le Abbe in the year 1242. Soon afterwards, it came to the family of Worth, who took their name from their ancient residence & estate of Worth in this parishAlthough the earliest parts of the fabric (red volcanic stone quarried from within the parish) are thought to date from c 1360, clergy incumbants are recorded from 1265 with the first rector being William de Berkelay. It consists of chancel , nave, north aisle, vestry, south porch, and embattled west tower containing 5 bells dating from 1787 to 1861.The 12c granite font survives from the Norman era , and has a square decorated bowl on a cylindrical stem, corner shafts and replaced base www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/Q3f0FVOver the nave and north aisle are unceiled late 15c wagon roofsIn 1624 the ancient rood screen was removed and the present one erected by Bernard Seridge, and is remarkable for the detail of the carving, which is very rich. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/aM3vt1 Originally the arms of James I [ 1603-1625] were over the chancel doors, but these were later moved to the tower. However the present vicar has replaced them in their original position. Over the north aisle doors are the Prince of Wales' feathers marked "C.P." www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/96LQ22 There is also the coats of arms of the Bishop of Exeter and of the Worth family who added the north nave and the north Worth Chapel.On the north aisle wall is a brass with kneeling effigies of Henry Worth 1606 & his 2 wives, Mary Mallet & Bridget Frye under a shield of arms, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/5158K6 A monument to his son Henry Worth 1630 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/K57Mpe is also here together with one to Alice Frye wife of Philip Steynings who died here on a visit to her niece Bridge Worth in 1606 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/f1zX3bThe porch, vestry and organ chamber are wholly of the 1875 restoration costing c £1000, when new fittings were placed, and the walls whitewashed.
