Many readers will have passed the little church of All Saints at Dunterton, set back from the B3362 Tavistock to Launceston Road, about a mile from Greystone Bridge. This ancient building, now part of the parish of ‘Milton Abbot with Dunterton’ has served the outlying villages and farms of the area since the 14th century and remains in regular use as a place of worship. Apart from its vestry and tower it is always open to the public and visitors are welcome. The simple stonework and historic woodwork exude a sense of spirituality together with admiration of our forefathers who laboured over the years to quarry the materials locally and to create a centre for worship and mutual support within the ministry of Tavistock Abbey. The church is a significant financial commitment for the local community. However, the proceeds of the Tamar River Walk, for which the local landowners and the Fishing Club have given permission, make a much-appreciated contribution towards maintaining the church.
