Staverton Church
Fact and legend are intertwined in the history of Staverton Church. It is said that in Saxon times, after St Paul de Leon landed at Penzance and built his church at St Pol, he sailed along the coast of Devon and Cornwall and then up the River Dart, until he reached the ford at Staverton. He felt that God had guided him to this place, and desired him to build a church. The site he chose was possibly near Wolston Green, and he gathered all the materials together ready to begin building. However, when he awoke the next morning the materials had disappeared. Patiently, he repeated his preparations but by the next morning the materials had again disappeared. When this happened for the third time, St Paul concluded that God was displeased with the site. He therefore chose the present location, which appears to have met with Divine approval, for a place of worship has remained there throughout the intervening ten centuries.

Church of St Paul de Leon, Staverton - the Worth family monument
Unusually, the children's effigies are set above the parents in this monument to the Worth family. The barely legible inscription records a date of 1629. A massive ladder stored in the corner is an annoying intrusion!

Now used as a community centre. During the five years from 1870, when education became compulsory and 1875 when the village school was built, the village children were taught in the Court Room.

Church of St Paul de Leon, Staverton
A view of Image from within the churchyard. In spite of the modest tower, this is a very big church for a not very big village - so big that converging verticals are difficult to avoid!
