Throwleigh St Mary the Virgin Church, Throwleigh, Dartmoor National Park
According to the 'Church of St Mary the Virgin Throwleigh' guide, 'the first recorded rector was in 1248, but most of the present church dates from the 15th and 16th centuries'. On the edge of Dartmoor's high north moor, the church is close to Shilstone Tor and the vast bulk of Cosdon Hill which is topped by Cosdon Beacon.
It's one of a number of churches on the edge of the moor. Gidleigh Holy Trinity Church is to the south. Belstone Church is to the north west.
We've positioned Throwleigh St Mary the Virgin Church on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location.
Interesting features include 'The Easter Sepulchre' and the 'thorn tree near the east wall of the churchyard'. Visit to learn more.
