St Peter’s, Cornworthy

Dedicated to St Peter, this church is the second oldest building in the village, its fabric mostly dating from the 14th Century.

The early-16th-century screen is still in place – look for the pomegranates connected with Catherine of Aragon - and there is an almost complete set of Georgian pews dating from 1788. Inside them there are unique 19th-century graffiti. The font is Norman and points to the fact that there was once a much earlier structure than the one we see now.

 

The church is open all day and there is a good church guide and a trail for younger visitors.

Uplift.jpg

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.
