St Petrock

There are always fascinating pieces of historical evidence and secrets to be uncovered when visiting a church as old as our Norman church at East Anstey.

A lovely example of a lovingly cared for, historic rural parish church, in an exquisite village green setting, high on a ridge with views to Dartmoor and Exmoor.

St Mary's is a fine village church first built by the monks of nearby Barlynch Priory in the early 13th century on the site of an old Saxon church (the manor was held in the 11th century by King Harold's mother, hence Regis).
