St Mary’s Church, Totnes

St Mary’s church in Totnes was completed in 1450, it is probably the third church on this site, its predecessor being dedicated in 1259 which had replaced an earlier Saxon church.
​
In 1867 the Victorians began work on the restoration and reordering of the church under the architect Sir George Scott. The windows were rebuilt, the north aisle was extended. Much of the woodwork dates from this period, including the pews with bend ends carved by Harry Hems and the restored oak wagon roof with its gold painted bosses and angels (in the sanctuary). many of the figurative stained glass windows came from the Edwardian era.
