More about this scene
In the distance is the hill of Brentor, topped by the 12th-century church of St Michael de Rupe, which was restored by the Duke of Bedford in the 19th century. In the foreground is the village of North Brentor; Christ Church was built in 1856 after it was decided that the long walk to the old church was too much for the poor delicate villagers.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
On 15 May 1982 my husband Graham and I got married in the church on the tor. We had about thirty guests who all had to climb up the tor, and only one lady did not manage it. There had not been a wedding in the church for some months before this. Afterwards we all went to the Dartmoor Inn for lunch, then walked up to Widgery Cross. It was a wonderul day and we go back on most anniversaries to climb the tor and see the church again.
