19th century ceiled wagon roof with Angels in St Swithun's church, Pyworthy.
In the chancel and nave is a 19th century (possibly from the 1885 restoration of the church) ceiled wagon roof with enriched beams and bosses. The chancel roof has angels along the wallplate. The open wagon roofs in the aisles have remains of original 14th century enriched beams and bosses.
