There is an entry for Garway [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SO4522/garway/] [accessed 5 June 2018] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. Noted and illustrated in Tim Sandles' web site [www.legendarydartmoor.co.uk]. This stoup, located at the entrance, dates probably from the 14th century. [We are grateful to Tim Sandles, of www.legendarydartmoor.co.uk, for the photograph of this stoup]. [cf. Index entry for Garway No. 1, the baptismal font, and Garway No. 3, another stoup of similar date in this church]
