Church Of St Gregory

The Church of St Gregory is a parish church located on Seaton Colyford Road. It dates from the late 13th century and early 14th century, with later alterations including a 15th-century west tower. The church was restored in 1860 by Edward Ashworth. It is built of stone rubble with freestone dressings. The nave features flat-headed two and three-light south windows, one of which has ogee arched lights. The north aisle and north transept contain two and three-light windows with reticulated tracery, and the east window of the transept, which is now only visible from inside, has three-light intersecting tracery. The south chapel has a restored perpendicular three-light east window and a decorated window that was in the former south transept. The chancel has a datestone from 1764 in the gable, a restored three-light east window, and a two-light south window. The south porch features a chamfered arch.

The squat 15th-century west tower has diagonal buttresses and a polygonal stair turret on the south side, along with an embattled parapet. It has single-light bell openings with cusped arches and a three-light west window with reticulated tracery, above a moulded arch west doorway.

Inside, the church has a moulded north arcade without capitals, with only two bays remaining. The west end is supported on cast iron columns to allow a late 19th-century gallery to span the width of the church into the north aisle. The chancel arch is similar and also lacks capitals. There is a squint from the north transept and a treble-chamfered tower arch with shafts in the responds. The roofs and furnishings are from the 19th century.

Notable monuments include a slate tablet for Richard Kettle from 1787, a tablet for Jonathan Bowden from 1726, and a reset tablet for Walrond and his wife from 1640, which features a kneeling figure above. There is also a monument for William Walrond from 1787.
