 St Andrew 's church dates from the fifteenth century and is set back from the main street but despite this its tower is a landmark which is highly visible from the surrounding area . The tower is 100 feet ( 30 m ) tall with pinnacles on top which add a further 20 feet ( 6 m ) to its height . On the west face are the badly damaged remains of a Crucifixion scene with figures of Edward VI and St George to either side . The tower also has a large clock face by Norman of Ilfracombe dating from about 1874 . Despite being the first part of the church to be seen when approaching from the main street , it is however the most recent part of the church , being built 1545 – 1549 . The tower is built in the local red sandstone with carved parts in Beer and Ham Hill stone .
