==Churches==
There are three churches in the village. St Thomas of Canterbury C of E church,〔(A church near you ) St Thomas of Canterbury〕 Yeo Valley Christian Fellowship 〔(Partnership ) Yeo valley Christian fellowship〕 and Lapford Congregational church.〔(Lapford Congregational church's website )〕
Originally a Norman chapel, the church of St Thomas of Canterbury mainly dates back to shortly after the murder of Thomas a Becket (1170), having been almost completely rebuilt, extended and then re-dedicated on the orders of King Henry II by William de Tracey, one of the assassins. de Tracey was lord of the manor of Bradninch, which then included most of what is now Lapford. The wall paintings and plasterwork were lost at the time of the Reformation and the original 12th century chancel was rebuilt in the late 19th century.
It contains a very fine late 15th century carved screen, uniquely carved on both sides, and still almost complete. Like many Devon churches, it has a fascinating series of intricate carved pew ends, variously dating from the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries.
