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 in worship, caring for the community and marking significant events in both individual and national life.
Following the lifting of restrictions relating to the Covid pandemic, the church is taking gradual and cautious steps to return to a normality. A regular pattern of services has now been re-established with an in-church congregation as indicated under “Our Church/Services”. The church is open for visits and private prayer daily from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. It is also maintaining contact with the elderly, the lonely and the vulnerable, and, together with the wider community, is continuing to provide help, support and care for our parish. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact Rev’d Gill Still.
Science for Worship:
The interaction between science and a Christian faith is the engaging subject of Ken Miles’ short paper “Science for Worship”, which is attached as a linked file.
Save the Parish:
The parish continues to be at risk of losing a resident priest. A briefing document is attached as a linked file.
There are no upcoming events at this time.
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.
