Holbeton church out in the South Hams is proud of its nineteenth century pews and screens decorated with Arts and Crafts carvings. They blend in with those of 1480 -1520, and thanks to a group of Holbeton volunteers they have recently been restored.
Following the restoration project Janet Sellick tells the tale of how and why these treasures came to be here. Their inspiration goes back millennia to early illuminated manuscripts. Discover dragons and wyverns alongside elephants and, of course, Devon’s flora and fauna.
To guarantee a seat, contact the library at least 24 hours before the event. Otherwise, simply turn up on the day.
