Molesworth is lord of the manor, owner of most of the soil, and patron of the rectory, valued in K.B. at £13. 16s. 8d., and in 1831 at £147. The Rev. P.W. Molesworth, B.A., is the incumbent, and has 40A. of glebe, and a good residence, recently erected. The tithes were commuted in 1841, of £140 per annum. The poor have the dividends of £50 four per cent stock, and of £83. 6s. 8d. three per cent consols, left by John Arscott and the Rev. John Rouse, in 1789 and 1819. The Church (Holy Cross,) is a small ancient structure, with a tower and one bell." [From White's Devonshire Directory (1850)]
