More about this scene

St James has a fine late-Norman south doorway and font. The rest of the church is 15th-century with early 16th- century aisles - the north one was built by the Risdons of Bableigh, and the south by the Giffards of Halsbury. The arcades are of Lundy granite; brought down from the top of Lundy island, the stone underwent a fifteen mile passage by sea before the masons could use it.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was an evacuee to Parkham in 1943 and would love to hear from anyone who might have been there at that time. I had very happy memories of Parkham and attending the village school. If anyone has memories of this period please contact me. My email address is   alecnav@hotmail.co.uk
