St Giles

Welcome to St Giles Church, Little Torrington, Devon. 

We hold weekly services at 11am... an informal Morning Worship on 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays and Holy Communion on 3rd Sunday.  


St. Giles is a beautiful 15th century church, with a nave and south aisle separated by an unusual colonade of Lundy Island granite pillars, beautiful stained glass windows and many historic features.   Its chamfered Norman font is believed unique in Britain.   Read more about the church and its history under  'About Us'.

St. Giles is also available for community gatherings, group meetings and exhibitions, small recitals etc., and has an accessible toilet, small servery for refreshments, superb lighting and accoustics.   Please 'Get in Touch' for details.

Weddings and other 'life celebratory' events are our speciality!   Little Torrington is a 'picture postcard' village, with excellent family accommodation at Torridge House and nearby Smytham Manor, a lovely village hall with good catering available and plenty of parking.    For more information, please 'Get in Touch'.
