Another view of Compton House from the church.
"In the chancel is… a record of the Penruddocke family with the dates of their deaths.
This included Sir John Penruddocke -- who rose in support of Charles II after the battle of Worcester --
who was driven westward to Exeter by the Cromwellian cavalry, captured and executed.
His letters to his wife from gaol in Exeter
are notable in English literature."
