St Nectan's Church, Hartland, Medieval church building in Stoke, Hartland, England
The stone church structure features a prominent tower reaching 128 feet in height, making it the tallest church tower in Devon county.
The church foundation dates back to 1050 when Gytha, Countess of Wessex, established it as gratitude for her husband's safety during a sea storm.
The church contains a Norman font from 1170 and stained glass windows by Caroline Townshend and Joan Howson depicting local historical events.
St Nectan's Church welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and maintains regular services including Morning Worship and Sung Eucharist.
The church houses a 45-foot-long rood screen from 1450 that previously supported both the organ and seating arrangements on its upper level.
