Tudor poppyheads and bench ends in St Mary's church, Ottery St Mary. Supposedly contemporary with the construction of the church by de Grandisson

"The parish church of Ottery St Mary owes its current form to one man; Bishop John de Grandisson of Exeter, who rebuilt an earlier 13th-century church on this sloping site in 1342. Grandisson's new church was built along collegiate lines, and modelled closely after Exeter Cathedral.

...a south aisle was added around 1520, and since that time the church has remained essentially unaltered..."
