Lew Trenchard Church gate

13/04/1936 Lew Trenchard is on the river Lew about 8 1/2 miles north of Tavistock. The original church was dedicated to St Petrock but was rebuilt in 1261 and 1520 and rededicated to St Peter. The church is noted for a large and impressive rood screen. The Rev Sabine Baring-Gould a noted historian and collector of folk songs was the rector here from the late 19th century. He actively restored parts of the church. He and his family lived at Lew Trenchard Manor and were friends of the Taylor family. Shirley taylor is in front of the gate. An email from Ms. H. Whitelock has this comment: These are the gates to Lewtrenchard Manor (or house), not the church: see other pictures in this collection.
