The church is interesting. The massive
Norman tower (now at the W. end) was apparently the central
tower of a cruciform building, the W. portion of which was
demolished at some date, perhaps in the early 14th century when
the existing nave was rebuilt with two transepts. In the early
15th century these transepts were enlarged into aisles. The fine
font, of red sandstone, is late 12th century in date, and is
similar in style to others in neighbouring churches. On the S.
of the churchyard is the manor house, part of which is 15th
century in date.

The Organ in St Petroc's Church,
South Brent, was built in 1884 by Hele & Company for Christ
Church, Plymouth. The instrument was removed
from Christ Church, Plymouth in 1966, rebuilt with electro-pneumatic
action and re-erected in St Augustine's Church, Plymouth. It was
dedicated by the Bishop of Plymouth, Right Reverend Guy Sanderson, on
All Saints' Day, lst November 1966.
In 1996 the Organ was removed to St Petroc's Church, South Brent,
redesigned and erected in the North Transept. In the course of
rebuilding two additional wind reservoirs were added, various stops
substituted, together with new pedalboard.
