COMBPYNE. Set in the ‘coombe’ of Combpyne, St, Mary the Virgin Church serves the joint parish of Combpyne and Rousdon. 

It dates back to the 13th century and is Grade ll* listed.  Notable features include the saddleback tower roof, two of the three bells among the oldest in Devon and a drawing of a ship – possibly as old as the 14th century – on one of the walls in the nave. 

St Mary’s is the smallest of the eight churches in the Axe Valley Mission Community but is well loved, welcoming and definitely worth a visit!  We are open every day. 

Apart from special seasonal services, there will usually be two every month, for full details see Pew News on the Axe Valley Mission Community website
