At the moment I am 66 years old. I lived at Newton St Cyres from 1950 to 1952.

Tiverton Photographic Memories
Next door to the church is this delightful Tudor mansion, built in the mid 1500s. Since then, there has been much addition to it, but the integrity of the old building has not been compromised. It is privately owned and not open to visitors.
