The tower of All Saints church overlooks the town and harbour of Brixham. For 25 years Henry Lyte had been vicar of the Devon fishing village of Lower Brixham. However by the age of 54, his health had broken and he was preparing to leave for the south of France. His immortal hymn, "Abide with me" was written shortly before his departure from Lower Brixham after taking his final service.
