A visitors book in All Saints' church, Culmstock. Located near the entrance. A rather thick tome, the first entry was made on September 9th 1948.
"Parish Church. C15 but built in more than one phase, some may be as late as early C16, renovated 1879. Local limestone rubble with larger more neatly dressed quoins; Hamstone and Beerstone ashlar detail; slate roof.
Plan: nave with clerestorey (an unusual feature for Devon), lower chancel, north and south aisles, west tower with semi-octagonal stair turret projecting from its south-east corner. South porch. Baptistry projecting from north aisle. C19 vestry on north side of chancel.
The church plays an important role in the townscope of Culmstock and indeed in this part of the Culm valley."
