DEVON historian, Dr Todd Gray, who is at the heart of the county's historical community, is visiting St Peter's Church, Lewtrenchard, on Friday, April 12.

Two of his many books 'Devon's Bench Ends' and 'Devon's Fifty Best Churches' are the basis for an illustrated talk by him at 7.30pm, following an organ recital by locally renowned organist Mary Mazur Park.

This promises to be an entertaining, educational and fascinating evening.?It will be followed by light refreshments.
