More about this scene

There is thought to have been a Saxon church on this site before AD700, and the Norman structure, dedicated to St Andrew, is built on Saxon foundations. The unusual octagonal lantern was installed in the 15th century when Colyton was one of the three richest wool towns in Devon. The clock was made in 1710 by Lewis Pridham of Crediton. The north aisle was enlarged in 1888.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
