St Mary’s,
Berry Pomeroy

The Church of St Mary, Berry Pomeroy, is an attractive building rebuilt on the site of an earlier church. It was constructed by Sir Richard de Pomeroy, who died in 1496 and whose tomb is in the north-east corner of the chancel.

 

The old altar rails and altar table, now in the north aisle, are from the 17th-century, as are the Royal Arms of William and Mary. King William III landed at Brixham from Holland in 1688, and is thought to have held his first Parliament in ‘Parliament Cottages’ at Longcombe, less than a mile from the church. 

Find out more by visiting the church's website.

The Uplift project to transform the nave of St Mary's Totnes, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and numerous national and local funders, is moving into its second stage.  Having completed the main capital works, the building has now reopened to the public, with its completely re-ordered nave and state of the art heating system.  In the second stage, during 2026, we will be developing the visitor experience, with a new children’s area and heritage interpretation scheme and enabling further community use of the building.  There will be a full programme of concerts and heritage events commencing after Easter.
