St  Bartholomew's Church - reredos The existence of an active and productive (East) Ogwell quarry <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2919925">SX8570 : Tower of St Mary's Church Wolborough</a> in the area in Victorian times, probably gave rise to the creation of this wonderful reredos. Built with all the skill the masons possessed and with the local natural "Devonshire Marble", the marble columns and the inserted marble panels are set in what appears to be Beer stone from the quarries just outside the east Devon coastal village of Beer.

There are other examples in the church of the use of marble from the South Devon area ... it is worth looking around to see what can be found, but none so wonderful as the marble in the reredos at St. Bartholomew's Church at East Ogwell.

Manor House, West Ogwell A remarkably severe, almost institutional, facade. The render doesn't help. Built 1790 for Pierce Joseph Taylor. Was he an ascetic or guilty about having a big house? Grade II listed.
It now appears to go by the name Gaia House and serves as a Buddhist retreat.
