Welcome to the churches of
The Dart & Avon Mission Community
THE DART AND AVON MISSION COMMUNITY consists of 7 Church of England churches
in or near the Dart Valley and the Avon Valley in South Devon
(See map below – but please note this only shows the church locations, not the parish boundaries)
We serve the two larger communities of Buckfastleigh (with St Luke’s Church) and South Brent (with St Petroc’s Church), together with the smaller communities of Dean Prior (St George the Martyr Church), Landscove (St Matthew’s Church), Littlehempston (St John the Baptist Church), and Staverton (St Paul de Leon Church) – all grouped with Buckfastleigh – and Rattery (Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary), linked with South Brent.
During and following the pandemic
Funerals -the legal limit on the number of mourners has been abolished. Funeral services can be held in our churches, or in local crematoria, etc. Contact Rev Laura McAdam on 07341258852 (Buckfastleigh, Dean Prior, Staverton, Landscove & Littlehempston) or Rev Gina Radford (South Brent and Rattery) on 07903400480 for support and help in your time of loss.
Weddings – wedding bookings are now coming in once more, and there is no legal restriction on numbers attending, although we do need to continue to maintain care to minimise risks of Coronavirus infection.
Financial support for our churches – the pandemic has hit the finances of all our churches hard and we would value any support you can give. Some of the church pages include opportunity to give online. You might also like to look at a video from Devon Historic Churches Trust here.
