Buckfastleigh Holy Trinity Church, Devon

user 3744 · Sep 22, 2008

Since 21st of July 1992 when the church was attacked by arsonist the Church has remained in it's skeleton state - more info can be found here: http://www.legendarydartmoor.co.uk/buckfastleigh_church.htm

The Church is open to the public and still holds (according to my girlfriend) services sometimes.

enjoy!

^ my favourite ^

Pretty skeleton! Bet it's really spooky in the dark though! Nice pics.

Nice pics, i especially like the second picture. I was down there a little while ago and remember following signs for Fuckfastleigh as someone had obviously pulled some of the 'B' away. :lol:

Thanks for the pics.

Nice find. Glad it has been left as is. Some of these restorations never do a place justice.

me and underworld was here this weekend looking for a catacomb that leads to something else, wont say what yet.

it is a really nice site, reminds me of charles church.

did you go up the stairs that leads to the top?

also, did you notice the tower that redone in side?

some really nice pics.

Couldn't agree more. It has a strange beauty all of it's own, left as it is. I really like your favourite photo too, maRto. Excellent find.

Have spent many hours in that cave system, the largest incidentally in Devon
The churchyard has the tomb of Richard Cabell "Hound of the Baskervilles" Do your own reserach !

Nice pictures, i imagine a service there would certainly be different, just pray it doesnt rain. Oh dear that was a very poor joke
