A Church Micro at All Hallows,Woolfardisworthy
The village of Woolfardisworthy or Woolsery, is noted for its church, All Hallows. The church has a nave and north aisle which has the vestry at the east end. On the south side there is a transept that forms the Lady Chapel. The South entrance is Norman as can be seen from the interior. Little is known of the early history of the church as records were destroyed in a fire at Clovelly Court in 1790. However, the church was formerly known as Holy Trinity and became All Hallows in the 1920s. The church was formerly a chapelry of the parish of Hartland and was one of the properties given to support Hartland Abbey at the time of Richard I. It was given by Hugh Peverell and thereafter served by the Augustinian canons. It became a parish in its own right about the time of the Reformation.
The tower was built in the 13th century and is 74 feet 4 inches high. On its south side there is a separate spiral stairway of 98 steps.It was restored in 1887. The six bells were recast in 1975 by J. Taylor & Co. of Loughborough and hung on a new steel frame, replacing the original oak.
The co-ords will take you to the headstone of John Little Johns,Yeoman of Bitworthy.
John died on 20th May ABCD.
