Brooking Devon
Church of St Barnabas, Brooking Devon, was originally built as a ‘chapel of ease’ for Dartington in 1885 . It lies largely hidden from the view off the road between Dartington and Totnes
(It replaced on a more ambitious scale, an earlier one consecrated in 1855 mentioned in Whites Directory of 1850 as "A small church as chapel of ease about to be erected at Tigley Cross for the accommodation of that neighbourhood")
Constructed of local limestone with Bath stone dressings in Early English style, with a steep Welsh slate roof - it consists of a nave, chancel divided into a choir and sanctuary; south aisle with the tower and spire (topped with a weather cock), over its east end and a porch on the west end of the south side of the aisle; north porch on the north side of the west end of the nave; and an organ chamber on the north side of the choir. The gabled south porch, is similar to the north porch but internally it has two orders of dog-tooth decoration
The interior is as it was in 1885 and entirely intact.
