Additional information
There is no record of a church dedicated to St David at Compton Dando. The parish church is dedicated to St Mary. This plan and the images at Maps K.Top.38.23.b. and Maps K.Top.38.23.c. depict the church of St Mary at Compton Dando. The church as it stands today was extensively remodelled in the nineteenth century but the tower was left largely in tact. The title to this drawing, the print and view are incorrect. The date of 1717 for the drawing at Maps K.Top.38.23.a. is also likely to be incorrect. Both medium and style suggest a later date. Furthermore, the chancel of the church was remodelled in 1735 which might indicate a similar date for this plan.
