All Saints Church, Holbeton. 13th century, although it still contains the original Norman font from an earlier church on the site. The Hele Chapel contains an impressive 17th century monument to Thomas Hele of Exeter and 22 of his family. The rood screen is late 16th century, and the amazing bench end carvings were done in 1885.

Penrose Almshouses, Litchdon Street, Barnstaple, Devon, 1624-27.
Built in memory of John Penrose (1575-1624), a merchant and Mayor of Barnstaple.
Grade I listed.
Between 1624 and 1627 Richard Beaple (1564-1643) and the four other co-executors of the will of his son-in-law John Penrose, Mayor of Barnstaple in 1620, built these almshouses.
The structure consists of a cobbled courtyard around which are twenty almshouses, for forty poor residents, with chapel and board room and vegetable gardens behind.
These almshouses were originally 20 dwellings, each one housing two people of the same sex. Above the doorway a plaque records -
this howse was founded by Mr John Penrose, marchant, sometime maior of this towne. Ano Do 1627.
The pump in the courtyard is Grade II listed. Probably dating to the late 17th or early 18th-century, it consists of a simple wooden casing shaped like a box, with a lead roof and an iron spout and handle.

The Grade II listed Town Hall and Library in Torquay, Devon were both built in the early 1900’s.
Andrew Carnegie was the son of a poor Scottish weaver. Brought to the United States by his family when he was 13 years old, he eventually became one of the richest men in America. He believed that by setting up free public libraries would provide opportunities for self education and enable the poor to break free of their poverty. Between 1881 and 1917, Carnegie spent over $56 million building 2,509 libraries throughout the English speaking world.
He donated the sum of £7,000 to the people of Torquay on condition that the Corporation gave the land for the building of the library and that they added a further £1400 to his original gift for the purchase of books.
