Thus in regard to its cornice work this screen belongs chiefly to the Kentisbere and Lapfordgroups, but also to the South Pool group in respect of one of its ornaments, and when we cometo consider the tracery, we find the affinity to the screens of Dartmouth, South Pool, etc., stronglymarked, as the foliated ogee is present in the tracery.

The lower panels are like Manaton, and it is worthy of note that at Manaton also appearsthe ribbed leaf in the cornice band. Not many years ago there still remained a considerable quantity of the canopy work fromthe old roodloft gallery, affixed to the top of the screens as at Kenton and Pilton, and aphotograph of this is extant—a copy being in the possession of Miss Rowe, of Great Haye,Lamerton ; but nothing is now visible.

KooDSCKEEN SCREENWORK IN THE COUNTY OF DEVON 359 The screen retains ancient colour, which has been renovated, but the lower panels retain a series of figure-paintings of which a complete list appears below (Plate CXXIVa). Exeter Dioc. Arch. Trans., 2nd Series, II, p. 96 ; S. Kensington list of paintedscreens. Several of the figures appear to have been repainted, as they appear in trunk hose and otherremarkable costumes. (2) There are two parclose screens. That on the south side of the chancel is by far the best, and contains some very beautifuland original detail in the heads, exhibiting the same influence (possibly Flemish or Spanish)which is in evidence at Holbeton or Kingsbridge (Plate CXIV--^). The north parclose is of similar but inferior pattern, and has lost the upper portion of itstracery, which is supplanted by some weird and curious woodwork—evidently the handiworkof the village carpenter.
