In this Guide Mr. Godfrey has been assisted by the late Mr. O. H. Leeney and the plan has been made by Mr. W. D. Peckham. It is a very interesting account of a very interesting church. The Rector held a sinecure and his only duty was to appoint a Vicar, and lists of these two Incumbents are given since a Rector in 1200 and a Vicar in 1223 and include Cardinal Pole (Rector, 1526-39) and Francis Salisbury, the Vicar in 1697, who was executed for coining. Most of the fabric is of the 14th century, but suffered much damage by a fire in 1576, when new roofs, including the fine one in the Chancel, were built; the Tower had to be rebuilt after the gale of 1936. The Caryll Chapel on the east of the south transept was built in 1610, but soon afterwards secularised and finally abandoned in the mid-19th century.
