The Wilts & Dorset Banking Company Ltd was founded in 1835 and did not open a branch in Plymouth until 1885. In 1888 they bought Harvey’s Hotel and changed it into new Bank Chambers. The Wilts & Dorset Banking Company Ltd was acquired by Lloyds Bank in 1914 and served as a bank for them until the 1950’s. In 1888 the architect who had the task of designing the new Bank Chambers for The Wilts & Dorset bank was George Michael Silley of The Strand in London and on completion received many compliments. The Italianate style building was constructed on a base of granite with the frontage in richly ornamented Bath stone and Portland stone capitals to the fluted columns around the door entrance. The contractor was George Shellabear of Plymouth.
The first mention of a church All Saints Churchon this site occurs in a Bishop’s Register of 1259, when Sir Henry de Brattone was instituted as Rector. However, the fine Norman font, with its cable twist and star mountings, provides evidence of a church in the 11th century. The earliest parts of the present building, such as the east wall of the south transept, may date from this period.
Many of the carved oak rood screen dates from around 1450, while the Elizabethan carved bench ends in the north transept are among the best in the country. There are ancient memorial tablets, and a fine arched altar tomb. The restoration work of 1850 and 1887 includes windows depicting the Ascension and the Good Shepherd.
As the original title of the church is unknown, it was dedicated to ‘All Saints’ by the Bishop of Exeter in 1986. The church is open daily, and a service is normally held every Sunday.
Devon Falls (6km west of Talawakele) is named after a pioneer English coffee planter called Devon, whose plantation is situated nearby. The Waterfall is 97 meters high and ranked 19th highest in the Island. Altitude of Devon falls is 1,140m above sea level.
