From: Revd Dr Paul Fitzpatrick: Rector, Ruby Benefice and Rural Dean Holsworthy

Holy Cross Highampton Parish Church

You will all be aware of the critical state of Holy Cross church building which has been the subject of a lengthy consultation led by Exeter diocese. From January 1st 2025. Holy Cross church building will be transferred to Exeter Diocese who will hold responsibility during the next consultation to find potential new uses for the building. Details to follow.

The Parish of St May Black Torrington will merge with Highampton from that date, with the PCC assuming responsibility of the churchyard, managed by a community group in Highampton.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if there are any questions about the route ahead.

Revd Dr Paul Fitzpatrick
