Find a church

One of the highest churches on the North Devon coast, a landmark yet hidden from marauders; great views of Bideford Bay from the churchyard which is probably celtic in origin.

In 739AD Aethelheard, king of the West Saxons, granted land for a monastery. In the early 900’s a cathedral was built, almost certainly of wood.

Southernhay has a light and airy feel with a high ceiling, large stained glass windows and a rear gallery.

More to this church than meets the eye (Pevsner).

Exeter Cathedral is one of the great Cathedrals of England, and one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture anywhere: inside you’ll find a building which has lived through war, political unreset, the Exeter Blitz and much more.

A church was founded on this site in 635 by St Aidan; the site of his death is marked by a shrine within the present church which dates from the end of the 12th century.
