St Mary's Church

Reviewed By AvidtravPerth - Prades, France

Traveling through the region we decided to stop off in Totnes. It has a reputation as a remarkable town with an extensive High Street running from the river bridge up to the fort. And, there was a market happening which was very interesting in its size and products available from farm produce to fats food of different nationalities. But the 15th Century St Mary's church was also amazing in its style. Simple in design but impressive. Check out the stone screen. It is just impressive. There are booklets for sale so you can obtain all the facts about the impressive heritage of the church. Recommended.

St. Pancras Church

Reviewed By 301lisa33 - Coventry, United Kingdom

This church is beautiful. It is huge, for such a small village. The snowdrops and primroses were out when we visited but the main beauty and interest is inside. The church offers several informative information boards. The church was hit by a devastating lightning strike in C17 and it was commemorated by the erection of huge boards describing events. The church boasts colourful, interesting ceiling bosses and an ancient painted wooden screen into the choir. There is also a colourful, intriguing animatronic horse hosting "Uncle Tom Cobley and all". It would be fabulous to see it in operation

St Michael and All Angels' Church

Reviewed By 603biancam - Angus, United Kingdom

This was our second visit to St Michael and All Angels and was as interesting as the first visit several years ago. Built by French and American prisoners of war (Napoleonic and 1812), the craftsmanship is breathtaking but to me more breathtaking is this is still an active church and although several 'tourists' came through while we were inside, the sanctity was not disturbed. The churchyard should be visited and plenty of time given to reading the markers.
