Millsome Castle from Taw Green

The parish church, is dedicated to Saint James and is grade I listed. Although it was rebuilt in the 15th century, with 16th additions, it has traces of a Norman window above the chancel, as well as other Norman features: carved stones in the walls, the baptismal font and a tympanum. There are old bench-ends, and 15th century glass. In the churchyard is the shaft of a late medieval cross made of granite which has lost its head.

A mile to the north in the parish of Coldridge is the medieval motte or ringwork known as Millsome Castle.
