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.
In accordance with the government guidelines for managing the Covid-19 health emergency, the church building is open at set times for said services of communal worship and private prayer as indicated below. Outside of these times the church remains closed.
While we continue to be challenged by the current 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 our parish priest, Rev’d Gill Still.
Church Services:
At Stoke Gabriel church, there are two Eucharistic services every Sunday, one at 8.15 (BCP) and the other at 11.15 (CW). At these services, communion is offered to the congregation in one-kind (bread). There is also a service of Morning Prayer every Wednesday at 10.00.
The times set aside for private prayer and contemplation are Sundays from 14.00 to 16.00 and Wednesdays from 9.00 to 12.00, either side of the morning service.
For those unable to come to church, a weekly service is broadcast live on Zoom every Sunday at 10.00 for members of the Totnes Mission Community. Access to the Zoom broadcast and the Order of Service can be obtained from Diana Walters.
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.
