Church of St Mary and St Gabriel
in the Totnes Mission Community
With its origins in the 13th century, our church has been at the centre of parish life for generations, providing a range of opportunities for worship, prayer and reflection, and remains a focal point in the 21st century. Our church aims to bring people together in fellowship, to provide care for the community, and to mark significant events in both individual and national life. We try to enable all members of the congregation to live out their faith in the living presence of Christ, supporting the day-to-day running of our church and various activities and events that are held throughout the year. As reflected throughout the parish, our church enjoys a warm sense of community.
We provide a regular pattern of services, including services of a quiet, reflective nature through to services with full choral settings. The church is open for visits and private prayer daily from about 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. It also maintains contact with the elderly, the lonely and the vulnerable, and, together with the wider community, provides help, support and care for our parish. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact the Associate Priest for the parish, Rev’d Chris Martin.

Parish Giving Scheme: The Parochial Church Council has recently launched the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS). This is a very simple and efficient way to make regular donations to the church and, as well as cutting down on administration, it enables the church to quickly benefit from the associated gift aid on monthly donations. There is also the (optional) possibility of automatically increasing your gift annually in line with inflation, which has the potential to transform our capacity for mission over the longer term. If you are not a regular giver, but would like to be, please pick up one of the PGS booklets in church or click on the adjacent link.

Our Grade 1 listed church stands at the end of Church Walk - a pretty, cobbled street of medieval houses. Surrounded by the churchyard, it overlooks the Mill Pool and the River Dart in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the South Hams. The church is open daily during daylight hours.

We are a community of Christian people whose ministry extends beyond regular attendance at church services into the wider community. Of paramount importance to our church life is the safeguarding of every individual, especially children and vulnerable adults. If you have a concern for yourself or another, please contact our Safeguarding Officer or the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser.
