Church Of St Ia

The Church of St Ia was built between 1410 and 1434 as a Chapel-of-Ease. The church includes a nave, north and south aisles, and a west tower, with an outer south aisle added around 1500. The nave consists of seven bays, and the aisles are of the same length. The arcades feature four-centred arches; the capitals of the south arcade are carved with grapes and vine leaves. The nave has wagon roofs with original carved timber. The tower is in four stages, with buttresses set away from the corners and pinnacles supported by corbels. There are several 15th-century carved bench ends, two of which are complete, located in the chancel area. The pulpit is constructed from bench ends. A 15th-century brass monument is also present. The font is likely from the 14th century, made of granite, with a circular bowl featuring carved angels at the corners.
