St Saviour





15th century-part of that last decade of English medieval art-and lacking that pared down renovation vibe

very ship like



Built in 1286 by royal decree but not consecrated until 1372, this church is clearly of the sea. I was sad not to be able to see the 13th century tree of life door but I was told that was temporary. You can also see various parts of Armada ships placed in the 1631.

Trago Mills

Trago Mills is the largest employer in South Devon, it has its own quirks like a massive rug department and a flock of peacocks. It is also staunchly anti-EU.
