DEVON historian Dr Todd Gray will be giving a talk about the history of one of his favourite Devon churches, St Michael's Brentor, on Friday June 22 . 

St Michael's features in Dr Gray's latest book '50 Best Devon Churches'. 

Devon's Anglican churches are great storehouses of ancient treasures but the sheer number of them — more than 600 — is so daunting that few people discover which ones are particularly worth visiting.

This book reveals where they can be found and provides a historical framework to understand them. Fifty buildings have been selected, a personal choice, which hold the most outstanding examples of stained glass, fonts, carved bench ends, screens, memorials and pulpits.

The talk will be taking place at St Michael de Rupe Church, Brentor from 7pm.

Wine and nibbles provided, donations in aid of church funds.
