Story
The original Chantry on this site dates back to the twelfth century. No village of Sticklepath then, but chosen as an ideal site on the banks of the River Taw enabling pilgrims to rest and pray. Sticklepath subsequently became known as a Quaker village and later John Wesley left his mark after preaching from the White Rock overlooking the Village. There is now a vision of St Mary’s combining its Church role with a heritage centre with visual and inter-active displays as well as hosting the Village archives. This picturesque Dartmoor Village has fascinating stories to tell of moorland, social and industrial changes with strong links to the developing Christian faith of the last 1000 years.
The Heritage Centre development group has successfully applied for a National Lottery grant and are hoping to match fund this with the help of JustGiving

3 years agoMuch has been accomplished but still lots to do as this little presentation of thought bubbles demonstrates. One thing is certain though - the small Heritage Group would welcome suggestions and offers of help as the project continues. On the Village fund- raising front this JustGiving site continues to receive donations and our aim of matching the National Park grant is clearly realistic.

4 years agoAnd that means we have now raised more than £1500! .The Heritage Group are thrilled with the support and interest in the project - and this is in lockdown. Hopefully St Mary’s will be open more often when restrictions ease further and interest and enthusiasm will keep growing as we are able to pop in and see the Heritage Centre developing. Thanks for all the support to this fund-raising format.

I have lived in Sticklepath for nearly 40 years. I am totally committed to this project. Not only will it support the creation of a heritage centre for this historic village but it will ensure that St Mary’s will remain open as a Church and retain its religious roots
