Church of St Bridget

Grid ref: SX 5135 8942

The Church of St Bridget is a listed building of medieval origins, likely founded in the medieval period when the Dartmoor parishes were taking shape. The church reflects the religious life of the communities that settled and farmed the margins of the moor, and has been modified and maintained over centuries of local use.

Today the building stands as a physical record of that continuity. Visitors will find a working parish church that embodies the long history of Christian worship on Dartmoor. The structure itself, with its period features and listed status, tells the story of local building practices and the enduring importance of the parish church to moorland settlements.
