This 19th-century church is a stunning example of Gothic Revival architecture, featuring a striking façade with a tall spire and intricate stone carvings. The interior boasts a grand nave with a vaulted ceiling, ornate chapels, and beautiful stained-glass windows.
Great church steeped in history. Signs of water damage from leaking roof above Naive. Remains of 12th century screen painted with characters from the Gospels. Working Organ. Tower built century after mane part of church, look at the diffrence in Masonry. Upper interior is plastered over covering Mason Marks, Alter is of wooded table, no sign of original.
So clean and nice, extremely peaceful. Church is open and we really like to read the inventory of the tombstones and get to know their stories.
For a minute I thought I was in London. Set in the pretty village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Saint Pancras Church is the centre point of the village sitting proud between various historic buildings. You can take a stroll through the church grounds and when the church doors are open pop in for a quiet look around. There is a decent place to eat a minutes walk away if you're peckish. The church was built originally in the 14th century, and as far as I can remember is a late gothic style.
It's an interesting old church set in the village of Widecombe on Dartmoor. It's known as the 'Cathedral in the Moor' and as you come down the hill towards the village you can see why. Widecombe has 2 good pubs and other eateries. A church hall has a craft market on Thursdays during summer and a saturday market too. The famous Widecombe fair at the end of August, a National Trust shop and a forge plus a village green and plenty of parking. Free loos in the first car park. Cows, horses and sheep wander about when they feel like it. A good place to visit.
Good looking church in centre of village, not as 'atmospheric' as some visited but nice all the same.
