Church of Saint Pancras, Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Gothic church in Widecombe-in-the-Moor, England.
The Church of Saint Pancras features a 120-foot tower constructed from local granite and stands prominently within Dartmoor National Park.
Built around 1450, the church expanded over two centuries using funds from the local tin-mining industry that supported the region's economy.
The church ceiling displays intricate roof bosses, including the Three Hares symbol, which represents the connection to local tin miners.
The building maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features and historical monuments throughout the week.
In 1638, a severe lightning strike damaged the church during a service, causing four deaths and leading to extensive reconstruction work.
