More about this scene
This strange building - St Michael's Church - was consecrated on 4 December 1319; it originally had 'of the Rock' as a suffix. It has been rebuilt since. Although we have a precise date for the buildiing, its purpose seems a little more obscure. Brentor was once an active volcano.

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.
