Facts and practical information

The large parish church of St Giles, which is in the village of St Giles in the Wood, Devon, England, came into being in 1309. When it was restored in 1862–3, many monuments were retained, including the monument and effigy of Thomas Chafe of Dodscott, three monumental brasses, of Alenora Pollard, Margaret Rolle of Stevenstone and a small brass of her husband John Rolle. There are also 19th- and 20th-century monuments to the Rolle family. ()
