This c13 church, which is nestled in the heart of Dolton village in North Devon, is open every day for quiet prayer and meditation from approximately 10.00am until 4.00pm and attracts visitors world-wide due to its wealth of interesting historical items.
The church boasts a wealth of excellent stained glass, which is shown in great detail in our main website, along with other pictures of the church.
There are regular services every week, times and additional services shown in our main website.
The church also plays host to many musical and other special events. It is also popular for weddings and baptisms.
The peal of 6 bells, restored in the 1990s, is rung on a regular basis by our bell ringing team, which are now a feature of local weddings.
The Saxon stone font is said to date between 800 and 1000 A.D. It is unique in not having been designed as a conventional font of its period, but made up of two blocks from two different Saxon crosses, likely to have been carved when St. Edmund was alive.
Dolton is situated between Dartmoor to the South and Exmoor to the North.
Please enjoy your visit to our website and we hope to welcome you one day to our church.
