DescriptionPinwill sisters work in the Chancel of SS Morwenna & John Baptist (geograph 4318020).jpg
English: Chancel of SS Morwenna & John Baptist. Chancel of SS Morwenna & John Baptist
The chancel at Morwenstow is almost completely cut off from the nave by the large screen reconstructed by R.S. Hawker during his incumbency. The reredos was installed in 1908 at the same time that Hawker's screen was replaced having been removed after his death. Designed by the West Country architect Edmund Harold Sedding and carved by the Pinwill sisters of Plymouth, it incorporates a cartoon by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta and three engravings by John-Baptist Jackson.
There is a piscina in the south wall and on the north wall a very faded fragment of a painting of around 1600 showing a female figure bearing a scroll in her left hand with her right arm raised in blessing over a kneeling monk. It is thought to represent the patron saint Morwenna.
