St Andrew's Church, Moretonhampstead

The church comprises an early 15th century tower, with a late 15th century nave and aisles.

In 1856–57, the church was re-pewed. The north side was started in October 1856[4] and the south side completed shortly afterwards. The medieval chancel screen was reportedly in a poor condition and removed.

A further restoration was carried out between 1904 and 1905. The chancel was lengthened by 9 feet (2.7 m) to make room for an organ which was the gift of Mr Tilby of Teignmouth in memory of his wife. A stained glass window was added to the chancel in memory of William Henry Smith. A new chancel screen was erected to a similar design to that removed in 1856. All of the seating was replaced with oak pews. The wooden flooring in the aisles was replaced with Minton tiling. The old gallery at the west end of the church was removed, and the roof replaced by an oak wagon roof. The walls of the church had the plaster removed, and cental heating was installed. The new altar was consecrated by the Bishop of Exeter on 6 April 1905.[5]

The organ of 1905

The organ was installed by Hele & Co of Plymouth in 1905 at a cost of £800 given in memory of Pauline Eugenie Tilby. The organ was opened on Thursday 15 June 1905 by Daniel Joseph Wood, organist of Exeter Cathedral.[6] An electric blower was fitted in 1946.

It now comprises 3 manuals and 34 speaking stops. A specification of the organ can be found in the National Pipe Organ Register.[7]

The tower contains a peal of 8 bells[15] cast by Gillett & Johnston in 1922. They were dedicated by the Bishop of Exeter on 1 December 1922.
