Stoke Damerel Parish Church (Mother church of Devonport)
Heritage Open Day: See the many interesting memorials within the church in memory of parishioners covering the last 350 year. On the day many information sheets will be located around the building relating to stories of the locality and some famous people. A church has existed on this site in excess of a thousand years. Most of the Grade II* building dates from the 18th. century, although the northern portion including the tower, north porch and two granite arches remain from the 15th. century. Known Rectors date back to 1310. The building is unusual in being greater in width than in length. In addition to ledger stones set into the stone floor, there are many wall mounted memorials dedicated to those who have worshipped here over the centuries, including numerous military men.
