The road signs are at the edge of a wall high above railway lines near Teignmouth railway station. A nearby information board records that the original Catholic church here was erected in 1842 with the support of the exiled Queen Marie Amelie of France. Unfortunately it was built over a cut-and-cover railway tunnel. In 1875, when the railway company decided to uncover the tunnel, the church was dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt in Plymouth. The present building dates from 1877, Grade II listed in 1983. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4919196 to a broader view of the building.
