Delightful church standing in an elevated position in the heart of the village, within the earthworks remaining from a motte and bailey castle built by Winemar the Fleming who was gifted the land by William I.

A beautiful Victorian church with an interesting history in a pleasant surrounding.

Acton Green St Peter

A medieval church with lovely stained glass windows, the churchyard has lovely views over the rolling mid Devon countryside.

St Nicholas shares a chalk hilltop with the ruins of the castle; both were built soon after the Norman Conquest by William de Braose, a close associate of William the Conqueror.

The first chapel on this site was a meeting room in a building also used as a pub called The Plough, which stood here in the 17th century.

St Mary's has occupied this site for over 900 years, although we are uncertain of the date of consecration.
