More about this scene
This was the scene of a devastating lightning strike on 13 December 1779. The east front of the chancel was demolished (perhaps explain- ing the new roof tiles on the right) and the north side of the tower was split almost to the ground. 'In short a sight shocking to all beholders' (Manaton Parish Register).
