The author of more than 45 books on the history of Devon & Cornwall as well as many scholarly papers, Dr Todd Gray visits us to talk about Devon's 50 Best Churches.

Devon’s Anglican churches are our greatest storehouse of ancient treasures but the sheer number of them (there are more than 600) is so daunting that few people discover which ones are particularly worth visiting. In this talk we hear about Todd's personal choice of fifty buildings, which hold the most outstanding examples of stained glass, fonts, carved bench ends, screens, memorials and pulpits. These churches continue to fulfil their main purpose as centres of faith but they can also be visited for those who appreciate extraordinary items of beauty, and often local craftsmanship, which are made of wood, stone, glass and metal.
