Church of St Michael and All Angels, Great Torrington
Church of St Michael and All Angels, Great Torrington, Anglican parish church in Great Torrington, England.
The Church of St Michael and All Angels features a tower with eight bells cast by Abraham Rudhall and displays traditional architectural elements of English churches.
During the Battle of Torrington in 1646, an explosion of stored gunpowder destroyed the bell tower, leading to a complete reconstruction completed in 1651.
The church houses fragments of glass from Westminster Chapter House, Stations of the Cross from a convent chapel, and monuments honoring relatives of painter Sir Joshua Reynolds.
The church maintains regular worship services and remains open to visitors who wish to explore its architectural features and historical monuments throughout the week.
The Willis Organ installed in the church matches the one in Truro Cathedral, making it among the most notable instruments in the West Country.
