This Cache brings you to the lovely village of Berry Pomeroy where there this Stunning Church sits alongside a Manor House. St. Mary's Church, in the village centre, has a rood screen forty-two feet long,and the stained-glass window dates from the fifteenth century. The rood screen is very unusual in being complete from end to end but also has the original coving, cornice and cresting. The wainscoting has painted figures. Between 1681 and 1834 the village was served by just three vicars: John Prince, John Fox and John Edwards. The church was once visited by William III and more recently by the Duke of Kent.American soldiers were stationed in the village in the buildup to D-Day and were billeted in tents opposite the church, in which items of that time are on display. American veterans revisited Berry Pomeroy for the 60th anniversary of the invasion. The church features in the final wedding scene of Ang Lee's 1995 film Sense and Sensibility.[12] Lord Edward Seymour (died 1593) is buried here, along with his son Sir Edward Seymour, 1st Baronet, standing against the north wall of the north aisle of the Seymour Chapel.
