St. Mary's Church - Mortehoe

St. Mary's - Mortehoe

St. Mary’s Anglican Church is part of the Coast and 'Combe Mission Community together with the churches of St. Sabinus’ Woolacombe and St. Matthew’s Lee.

Mortehoe village goes back to the Domesday Book - and beyond. The haunt of smugglers and wreckers in years gone by, its more recent history is as a farming village; and now, like Woolacombe down the hill, Mortehoe is centred on tourism. For a fascinating overview of the village, its history and its surroundings, visit the Mortehoe Museum.

St. Mary's - InteriorThe Norman church of St. Mary has been added to over the centuries - with a thoroughgoing Victorian restoration, and then with Selwyn Image's remarkable chancel-arch mosaic and archangel window - but the ancient bell-tower, the de Tracy tomb, and the carved pew-ends are among its medieval glories. The church is open daily from Easter to the end of October, and attracts more visitors, and more appreciation, than any other locally.

St. Mary's has a varied pattern of services, both in the morning and the evening. All are welcome to join us in worship.
