Monuments
In the church of St Matthew is a mural monument to Elizabeth Courtenay (d.1624), a daughter of Philip III Courtenay (1547-1611) of Molland by his wife Joane Boyes (d.1586), daughter of John Boyes of Kent. Elizabeth married in 1600 to the Hollander Peter Muden, a doctor of medicine, of Butterleigh. Shortly before 1600 Muden had enlarged the parish church and later erected the existing mural monument to his wife which contains a female effigy between two children with verse.
