Colyton's parish church (St. Andrew) is a large, handsome building, chiefly of 15th early 16th century date but with some earlier work in the chancel and tower. On the south side of the chancel is the Pole chapel, containing some splendid Pole monuments, particularly that of Sir John Pole (1658) and Elizabeth his wife. Sir William Pole (d. 1635), the great Devonshire antiquary, whose Collections have been quarried by generations of local historians and genealogists, lies buried in the chapel but without a memorial, As well as Shute Sir William owned Colcombe Castle which had been one of the seats of the ancient Courtenay family.
