A short History of your Church
We are hoping to encourage as many of our churches in Devon and the Diocese of Exeter to send a short history of their church which will encourage support for our wonderful Christian architectural heritage.
Please send us a history of your church which we can include here, not longer than one A4 page and should if possible include one photograph.You might also like to include unusual features of the church or details of particularly fine examples of carvings, windows, pulpits etc. Details should be emailed to Claire Sherlock.
