Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

There has been a church building on the site of St James' Teignmouth, serving the local community, since the 12th century. The original church was consecrated a while later in 1268.

By the 19th century the old church had fallen into disrepair but under the guidance of Admiral Sir Edward Pellew (of Bitton House), the tower was restored and the nave rebuilt in its current unusual octagonal shape. 

200 years later, the building requires continual maintenance and repair, and we are grateful to the Devon Historical Churches Trust for their financial support.

With others from the wider Mission Community, we intend to "Stride" around all the churches in the extended Haldon Mission Community on Saturday 17th September. We will be visiting all the member churches. Starting at St Nectan's, Ashcombe, we will visit Ideford, Luton, Bishopsteignton, Ringmore, Shaldon, West Teignmouth, and end with a cream tea at St Michael's. 

Please give generously to support the work of the Devon Historic Churches Trust, so that they can continue to help fund the essential repair and maintenance of our beautiful historic churches across Devon.
