Holy Trinity Church, Torbryan, in Devon, is filled with colour.
The most splendid part of this church is the rood screen, dating from c. 1470-80, spanning the entire width of the church from wall to wall. 40 out of 44 original painted panels survive, presenting visitors with an unusual procession of lesser-known saints, as well as apostles and angels.
We are currently fundraising to conserve woodwork across our estate via our Annual Appeal, Timber and Tradition. This includes precious artistic treasures like this panel, but also wooden roof battens and beams which are essential to keeping our churches weather tight. Please, help us conserve historic churches by donating via our website visitchurches.org.uk/appeal.
*Final postal orders for the UK will be taken on the 11th December. To avoid disappointment we would recommend those ordering from Western Europe to do so by the 1st December, and for those ordering to Australia or America, please do so by the 19th November.*
