This is the centre of Drewsteignton showing Holy Trinity Church and The Drewe Arms public house. The Drewe Arms was reputedly originally known as The Druid Arms but the name was changed in the 1920s when the Drewe family had nearby Castle Drogo built. The Drewe family persuaded the brewery that owned the pub to change the name, and offered to buy the sign with the family coat of arms which is visible on the inn sign today. The pub's website is here http://www.thedrewearms.co.uk/
