We had a few days in Branscombe, which is my favourite Devon village, back in February. Saint Winifred's Church is among the oldest and most architecturally significant parish churches of Devon. It probably dates back as far as about 995, but records of the vicars only go back to the thirteenth century. The tower is the oldest part and the base could be Saxon while the main part is early 12th century Norman, as is most of the nave. The church is built on a levelled area that cannot be seen from the coast, and this may have been for protection of the original Saxon church from Viking raiders. Alternatively, the church may have been placed on an earlier pre-Christian holy site. Occupying such a pagan site would have allowed the Church to both challenge paganism and benefit from any positive religious feelings associated with the site. The Grade I-listed building is considered by Simon Jenkins to be among England's Thousand Best Churches.

St Piran's Church is over the hill to the south of the village of Perranwell on the outskirts of Perranarworthal, just a short walk by footpath. The tower dates from the 15th century but the rest of the church was rebuilt in 1882.

The streets around Exeter Cathedral are very pretty. Exeter Cathedral Close has many old buildings around the green in front of the Norman-period church.
My 3xGreat Grandfather, John Smith Perry, was born in the tiny Devon village of Venn Ottery (we really are talking about the arse-end of nowhere, here) in 1822. Luckily for me, he went to London, presumably to seek his fortune, in the 1840s; which was also lucky for the church in Venn Ottery, because my GGG grandfather ended up doing two years' hard labour in Wandsworth for nicking the lead off a church roof!. Even this tiny Devon village has a church with an 11th century Saxon tower.
