All Saints Church is best known for the very old yew tree growing from the top of the tower, but the church is also appreciated for its excellent acoustics and professional musicians from as far afield as the US, Japan and the Netherlands perform here fairly frequently as guests of the Blackdown Early Music Project. The churchyard has been managed (with the assistance of the very patient Mid Devon Council grounds team) by volunteers. Our aim is to create a welcoming and peaceful space for residents and wildlife alike. There has been a noticeable increase in wildflowers appearing and to speed up the process, several native plants and other pollinators have been introduced. Swift boxes have been installed in the tower and local school children visit every three weeks to participate in our work or to hear from locals with relevant experience and knowledge. Although in only the third year of the project, we are pleased that All Saints churchyard is an attractive haven for its resident wildlife and for those of us who pass through or visit to find peace. It is also a place for play and discovery, with a mown labyrinth and maze and provides a photogenic background for wedding photography. A collection of mostly Mediterranean plants is gradually being introduced as part of a Bible trail. Visitors may like to make use of the four benches to enjoy the views across the churchyard or the valley, towards the Culmstock beacon.
