The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
St Winwaloe (now)
Parish church
Poundstock is a small village about four miles S of Bude. The church lies to the S of the village and was built of freestone ashlar, rubble with freestone and granite dressings. The structure consists of a transept dating to the 13thc, a nave, a N aisle, a chancel and a W tower, all rebuilt in the 15thc, and a S porch added in the 19thc. The church was restored by John Dando Sedding and George Fellowes Prynne in 1896. The Romanesque church seems to have been a cruciform structure: it probably consisted of a nave, a chancel and a S transept, of which only the lower portions of the walls remain (Sedding 1909, 340). The Transitional font placed in the N aisle and a fragmentary colonnette are the only relevant carvings.
