The south porch was built In the 13c when the church was enlarged by Walter de Branscombe, born at Edge in the parish, who became Bishop of Exeter (1258 - 1280), and was a renowned church builder.  He also added  the transepts, thus making the church cruciform and lengthened the nave to its present dimension
