The church is now open during the day from 11am until 4pm
for private prayer and contemplation;
​we are also able to hold funerals and weddings.
If you wish to arrange a funeral or wedding at St Andrew's 
​please contact the vicar. 

Throughout this difficult time, the church continued to be here as a Christian presence in Devon. Although restrictions remain in place, we are gradually re-opening. Nevertheless, face to face visits are still problematic.  If you would like to speak to a minister or email, we will be pleased to help.
