120 KINGSBRIDGE 



exhibit indications of Early Decorated work; and the font 

 is Early English. 



Within the church is a handsome white marble monument, 

 erected to the memory of the 28th Baron Kingsale. This 

 will be referred to in the account of Ringrone. 



A memorial window was placed in the church by — 

 Pinwell, Esq., of Salcombe ; and there is another, the history 

 of which is unknown to the writer. Both of these are 

 modern. 



In the month of August, 1829, this spire was struck by 

 lightning in a very similar manner to that which injured 

 the Kingsbridge spire in the previous year. At the time 

 of the occurrence the minister was reading the burial service 

 in the church, while the relations and friends of a deceased 

 parishioner were assembled for the funeral. The sudden 

 flashes of lightning, and the tremendous peals of thunder, 

 caused such an alarm, that the clergyman, as well as all 

 the people, rushed out of the church, and did not return 

 until the storm was over. The spire was so much injured 

 that it had to be taken down and re-built. 



Some new school-rooms having been erected in Mal- 

 borough, they were opened, in May, 1873, by Dr. Temple, 

 Bishop of the Diocese. 



A Baptist chapel was built in this place in 1815. This 

 was enlarged and repaired in 1872. A new school-room 

 was also built in 1872; and much has been done this 

 year (1874). The names of successive pastors are 

 Rev. John Nicholson, 

 „ W. H. Evans, 

 „ H. Crossman, 

 „ E. Tamsett Davis (the present pastor). 



A Wesleyan chapel, of very neat design, has also recently 

 been erected in Malborough.
