Whitchurch, Devon

Whitchurch is a suburban village and civil parish to the south-east of the town of Tavistock, Devon, England.

It is believed that a church must have been present in Whitchurch as early as the 11th century, and that it was most likely built from the white elvan[citation needed] that can be found at Roborough Down only a few miles away.

Many memorials can be found in the church, including a monument to Francis Pengelly (1722) made by John Weston of Exeter showing a "celestial ballet" on a medallion, and also an early 17th-century slate slab to the Mooringes of Moortown.

Walreddon Manor is a Grade I listed country house built in the reign of Edward VI by the Courtenay family.

[2] The so-called Priory, near the church, is a 19th-century granite building incorporating a square 4th century entrance tower from an earlier structure.
