Slapton, GB

St Botolph

St Botolph's was born at the beginning of the 7th century of noble Ango Saxon parentage. After becoming a monk in France he built a monastery in Suffolk. He has been honoured as the Patron Saint of travellers and the 60 or so churches bearing his dedication are all near roads or rivers which provided transport. Slapton is on the River Tove, small at this point but thought by historians to have been less silted up and navigable in Medieval times.

Stowe Parish Church

Welcome to Stowe parish church, situated in the beautiful, world famous Stowe Landscape gardens run by the National Trust.
More than 800 years old and situated in the midst of the Stowe Estate, to the south west of the house, it is intentionally hidden by evergreens planted by Lord Cobham to conceal the church and is all that is left of the medieval village from the mansion.

St Mary the Virgin

A romantic church that stands alone, shorn of its former medieval village, looking out across the Capability Brown landscape of 1760's toward Fawsley Hall, the seat of the Knightley family and now a country hotel.

All Saints

All Saints is a typical village parish church, but it can be found in many guide books, as it is nationally and internationally famous for its stained glass windows by William Morris. These windows, installed over a period of 28 years, tell a story about the involvement of the Pre Raphaelite painters as people and the development of stained glass as a church art form.
