St Mary's Church stands within the grounds of Buckfast Abbey in the sheltered Dart valley south of Dartmoor. The building is medieval in origin, though like many parish churches it has been altered and extended over the centuries. Its listing as Grade II* reflects its historical significance and architectural interest as a working church and part of the abbey's complex.
Today the church remains a focal point of the abbey precinct, set among the hills and woodlands of the South Hams. Visitors to Buckfast will encounter it as part of the broader monastic landscape, a reminder of the long religious history of this corner of Devon and its deep roots in the medieval period.
