A Curious Look at Devon's Churches

7th Feb 2024, 10:45 am

Torquay Museum Society Lecture by Robert Hesketh

In most Devon communities, the parish church is the oldest extant building, rich in architectural beauty and historic interest. There's a wealth of artistic and historic treasures to discover, especially if you look carefully. This talk ranges from the splendid wrought iron door at Dartmouth to the quarter jacks at St. Mary Steps in Exeter, taking in green men, "tinners' rabbits", humorous moments, a murder, some impish gargoyles and a lot more on the way!

Lectures are free of charge to Torquay Museum Society Members but the general public are also welcome to attend - £5 per ticket, payable on the door.
