St Peter and St Paul Newchurch

Despite it’s name, dates to 13th century, It has the most green and wildlife friendly churchyard with a pond area that encourages amphibians and invertebrates. You can sit on the bench next to the pond and enjoy the peace and quiet

The general structure of the church has suffered from serious subsidence and has acquired buttresses to prevent the tower collapsing. The doors that lead from the tower into the churchyard are peppered with shot, the legacy from smuggler days when the church would often be used as a ‘safe house’.

The church has a well cared for interior, with a museum space that provides lots of useful historic information about the village.
