Significant Landmark
St Mary’s is a significant landmark here in Totnes with its red tower and defining pinnacles that reach high above the neighbouring buildings. It’s a visual delight for lovers of architecture, photography and history, but also for all that live here and for those who visit the town each year.
But… it’s on the inside where St Mary’s really leaves its mark on those who pass through the doors. This space of purpose is where history, music and the sacred entwine. You can feel it when you step inside. The church has witnessed many challenges and has stood through massive social upheavals.
A Place of Heritage and Learning
Today, as times change again, our church remains a place of sanctuary, wisdom and learning for all that is most profound in the human spirit. It’s a place of heritage but also one of resilience and sustainability in a new planetary era. And just as St Mary’s has witnessed many challenges throughout the centuries, so it must adapt again. You can be part of the journey that will ensure its bright and purposeful future.
