Parclose screen, Church of St John the Baptist, Ashton, Devon

---

Important 8-bay 15th century rood screen, the coving an early 20th century replacement incorporating some medieval carving. The rood screen paintings are probably the best in the county: conventional dado paintings on the west side and exceptionally fine large demi-figures on the east side and parclose which has 6 square-headed traceried bays.
