St Mary's church, Hardington Bampfylde (interior)

Belying the building's Norman origins is an interior that looks distinctly Georgian. The pulpit and altar rails are of the late C18, whilst the box pews are early C19; it followed much rebuilding in the early C17. The Royal Arms of Charles I above the chancel arch was repainted in 1817. The 'wonky' chancel arch itself is possibly Norman, whilst the nave is late C14. This little church sits amongst modern farm buildings and is now cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.

This fine wall monument to Colonel Warwick Bampfylde (†1694) in the chancel stands 12 feet tall. As well as the Colonel, the memorial inscription also commemorates three further generations of the Bampfylde family.
