IN July, August and September, Bill Jerman will be offering tours of the Holy Cross churchyard, with donations invited in support of the Devon Historic Churches Trust.

Tours will need to be pre-booked and groups of up to four in number can be accommodated, but it should be noted that the tours are unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

Bill is planning to produce a digital version of the tour.

The tour will cover lost buildings, paths, trees, walls, gates and railings, and some of the more interesting individual and family burials.

These include former clergy, a well-known Dartmoor writer, war graves, a victim of a submarine disaster, the partners of Dart and Francis, former organists, a Victorian antiquarian and those associated with Winswood House from around 1800 through to 1930.

Anyone wishing to book a tour or wanting further information should please contact Bill on 01363 772865.
