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 and remains a focal point in the 21st century, bringing people together, caring for the community and marking significant events in both individual and national life.
With the easing of the Covid-19 restrictions, the church building is open for private prayer daily from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm subject to current Covid guidance.
While we continue to be challenged by the Covid-19 health crisis the church is maintaining contact with the elderly, the lonely and the vulnerable, and, together with the wider community, is providing help, support and care for our parish. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact Rev’d Gill Still.
Church Services During Covid-19 Pandemic:
Two Eucharistic Sunday services are provided every week with an in-church congregation, one at 8.15 am (BCP) and the other at 11.15 am (CW). Members of the public may attend either service but will be required to follow current Covid guidance. The 11.15 am service will continue to be live streamed on Zoom, for which joining details may be obtained from Sue Clement (merryclement@gmail.com).
A mid-week service is provided on Wednesdays at 10.00 am, also subject to current Covid guidance. The service is Morning Prayer (BCP) except the last Wednesday of the month which is Holy Communion (BCP).
Vacancy for Organist/Director of Music:
As a result of the impending departure of our organist and musical director, the church is seeking an experienced replacement to contribute to the worship and musical life of this thriving village church. Further details of the church and choir can be viewed on this site and/or by contacting the churchwarden at DMN1532@gmail.com. The closing date for applications is Saturday 17th July 2021.
Village Church Clock:
The village church clock suffered a catastrophic breakdown in Autumn 2019. The cost of the essential repairs is £10-11,000 and the church has launched an appeal to raise the funds. If you are able to make a donation, then please click on the church Facebook link to obtain details.
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.

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.
