The Church of St Peter and St Paul in Ermington, Devon, is a parish church in the Church of England. It has a crooked spire and is Grade I listed.[1]
The church was mostly built across the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, with some features surviving from the 11th century Norman church,[1] mainly in the stonework between the porch and the tower.[2] The architecture is broadly English Perpendicular Gothic.[1] Extensive Victorian restorations were carried out by the Arts and Crafts architect J. D. Sedding in 1889, funded by the Mildmays of Flete.[2]
The south door to the church was constructed in the 15th century and features a massive moulded granite four-centred arch.[1]
The crooked spire was built in the early 14th century and rebuilt in the 1850s retaining the original twist.[1]
Inside, the church features a number of woodcarvings by Violet Pinwill dating from 1890 to 1945.[3]
