St George's Church, Holcombe (own website)

Curate in Charge:  The Revd Helen Bays (01626 862860)

Church Warden: Margaret Behenna 

St George's is to be found in the heart of the village, below the Castle Inn.  It was built in Victorian times as a school and worship centre and consecrated to St George the Martyr on 22nd April 1945.  The congregation is drawn from the village and from Dawlish and Teignmouth.  They value the friendliness and community spirit that a smaller village church can provide.  There is a beautiful garden alongside the Church which many value as a place for prayer and quiet reflection and is now affiliated to the Quiet Gardens Movement.  Both church and gardens are open each day.

Eat and Enlightenment is now a twice monthly get together for a meal and lively discussion of various topics of faith and social and moral issues.  Really popular and one meeting is in the Castle and one in a private home with the same subject – so you can take your pick.

For more information call Dee and Steve Pocock on 867549 or Helen Bays on 862860  

Memorial Plaques

Following the completion of the new garden wall, we have received permission from the diocese to offer memorial plaques.  These may be erected in memory of those who were themselves residents of Holcombe or members of the church at the time of their death or whose next of kin were.  Application forms are now available.  Anyone interested should contact Helen or one of the wardens.
