The parish church in the village is the church of St Peter which has 13th-century origins while the chancel is of 14th-century date. It underwent a Victorian restoration by the architect William White between 1873 and 1889. An effigy in the chancel is said to be of Blanche St. Leger (d.1483) and above this is a monument to Lady Anne Chichester (d. 1723).[3][4] Other 18th-century monuments survive in the church.[4] Here also is a memorial plaque to the aviator and sailor Sir Francis Chichester, who was born in the Rectory in the village. Manor{{main article|Manor of Shirwell}}The manor of Shirwell was the seat of two of the leading families of North Devon, the Beaumonts (to the end of the 15th century) and their heirs the Chichesters of Raleigh, Pilton, both of which families lived on the estate of Youlston within the Manor of Shirwell. The manor house which survives today known as Youlston Park exists largely in its Georgian form, but it retains many impressive late 17th-century interiors; it is described in Pevsner as "one of the most rewarding in North Devon".[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.devon.gov.uk/devon_districts_2002_.pdf|title=Map of Devon Parishes|publisher=Devon County Council|accessdate=20 June 2013}} {{Commons category inline|Shirwell}}{{coord|51|07|N|4|00|W|display=title|region:GB_type:city_source:GNS-enwiki}}{{North Devon}}{{Devon parishes}}{{Devon-geo-stub}}2. ^{{Cite book|last = Harris|first = Helen|title = A Handbook of Devon Parishes|publisher = Halsgrove|location = Tiverton|year = 2004|page = 149|isbn = 1-84114-314-6}} 3. ^{{cite book | last = Hoskins| first = W.
