All Age service.

An ‘All Age’ service happens every second Sunday of a month and is an interactive time for all. Activity bags for the children to help them to engage with the theme, song with actions and a great time to encourage each other in our faith.

Modbury’s rich heritage.

Modbury is an ancient market town with a history stretching back to Saxon times.  St George’s Parish Church is predominantly 700 years old, although parts of it pre-date the Doomsday Book of the year 1086.  It sits atop the town in a commanding position attracting visitors from near and far, benefiting from its location in the heart of one of England’s top tourist destinations.  Town and Church share a fascinating and varied heritage involving Benedictine Priories, Civil War Battles, powerful families, famous names including the globally recognised Stetson family, celebrities of the Industrial Revolution, rumours of hidden lost tunnels, legends and lately some notable environmental firsts as Europe’s first plastic bag free town.

Modbury Remembers.

Remembering those from Modbury who gave their lives in two world wars.

In 1914 and again in 1939, Modbury men and women gave up their jobs and enlisted in the Services to serve their country.

39 made the ultimate sacrifice.

Modbury Remembers aims is to bring their names to life for future generations by researching their family background, where they lived, when they served; where they fell and are buried.
