Church of St Sylvester, Chivelstone Devon is now the religious centre of this coastal parish known as Prawle point which is situated at the most southerly point in Devon and also incluldes the villages of South Allington, Ford, Lannacombe & East Prawle.
Mentioned as Cheveletone in the 1086 Domesday Survey, the Lord of the Manor was then Juhel de Totnes who was granted many manors in the south-west by William the Conqueror and who founded Totnes Priory in c.1087 but who , after the king's death , was expelled by his successor.
There was a chapelry here by the end of the 13c, attached to the parish of Stokenham held by Totnes Priory.
The church now consists of chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, embattled three stage west tower with 5-sided stair turret on the south side , holding 5 bells, and is mainly Perpendicular in style.
The present building was constructed in the early 15c , though the chancel may be 14c, and enlarged with the rebuilding of the aisled nave, tower & porch in mid-16c.
It is the only one in Devon dedicated to Pope Sylvester who died in 325AD
Inside is a wonderful early 15c rood screen with painted saints www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/5d01WbJ7P4 & a
later c1480 fine matching painted medieval pulpit hollowed out of the trunk of a large oak tree www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/aCN1aNhKqJ
The registers date from 1630.
It was restored in 1897 but by the beginning of this century was badly in need of further extensive restoration.
The PCC also hoped to create a space that could be used more widely by the community as well as bringing in revenue to help make it more sustainable in the future - this in addition to providing better facilities for the loyal congregation.
Having been unsuccessful with previous grants the Church worked hard with the active support of Le Page Architects, to win a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The final interview for the grant on zoom released £400,000 during the 2020 lockdown, this supplemented with other fundraising for the match funding. There is an explanatory video that explains the project here: eastprawlehistorysociety.co.uk/church-repair-project
Work was done during 2021. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0xs1N7-DnU
There have been interesting complications around structural and conservation repair, entailing 8m deep low impact piles to support the south porch, as well as repair to a reed reinforced plaster ceiling. Extensive repointing, upgrade of rainwater goods, other repairs to lead roof, and stonework repair to decayed windows has formed the majority of the external work.
Interior works are wide ranging, involving the installation of an accessible lavatory unusually with a shower. This is so that the Church may be used for overnight accommodation for walkers and tourists champing.co.uk. Grant of consent to allow for a shower was extremely hard won but eventually allowed. A bespoke hideaway kitchen offers simple catering for a variety of events.
Conservation work to the medieval pulpit was one of the highlights of the project and remains of late 17c / early 18c wall paintings have been found under layers of whitewash,
In the graveyard are numerous graves dating from 1712 , many to those who lost their lives in ships wrecked throughout the centuries,
In his book “Kingsbridge and its Surroundings” (1874) S P Fox wrote bout the wreck of the Gossamer:“A China tea clipper ship, of 735 tons register, was wrecked in December, 1868 and 13 lives were lost. There was a strong South-wrest breeze, and a heavy sea… The Captain was seen to lash his bride of just two weeks to a spar in the hope that she would stay afloat. For a time the two of them clung to the storm tossed bit of wood until the sea took them in its cold embrace…”

How to. Keep your iPhone plugged in, power it off, power it on, wait for it to fail. If it doesn't you're done. If it does, repeat.

Larger upload of my efforts. Probably one of the best pictures I took that holiday... but evidently, developing and processing in the darkroom plays a huge role in completing a photo...

It's been about 5 years since I've been to this spot.
This tree for whatever reason has been here for who knows how long, weathered by storm but strengthened over time. Our first acquaintance was with my Olympus C-5060 point and shoot, and tonight I felt I raced against time and an eluding sunset just to snap this.
This is sad, I need to come up with better stories...

This nonagonal tato was installed in September 2009. Color has vanished and it is slightly unfolded, still in good condition after a whole year outdoors.
Meanwhile, the recycling point has been relocated on the other side of the esplanade.

I admired the tenacity of the grasses still growing out of the soil clump stuck to a felled tree. As long as they keep getting rain, they will likely persist for some time! [Windsor, Cumberland Plain, NSW]
OVER THE MOON THAT I WON THE CTM 2019 RADIO LAB IN BERLIN. Huge gratitude to CTM in Berlin, Gaudeamus Muziekweek & Muziekhuis in Utrecht, and last but not least ensemble But What About: your support is worth a billion <3. PS: Big congratulations as well to Israel Martínez, who won together with me !
///
Two winning projects have been selected from an open call for the CTM 2019 Radio Lab. The organisers would like to thank everyone who took the time to submit their proposals, which totalled 175 entries from 43 countries, and collectively addressed the call’s themes and challenges from a wide and interesting array of perspectives.
Awarded by Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Radio Art/Klangkunst and CTM Festival, in collaboration with ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst festival, Ö1 Kunstradio, and The Wire magazine, the CTM 2019 Radio Lab open call sought unusual explorations of the artistic possibilities of radio and live performance or installation mediums, while also addressing the CTM 2019 – Persistence festival theme.
With (Non) Humanism and Animism, Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman researches (modern) forms of animism, and how animistic worldviews have managed to survive in spite of severe oppression through heavy colonization. Herself born in Rwanda but raised in Belgium, Lierman takes direct inspiration from a series of life-changing encounters with her 108-year-old grandfather, one of the last living Rwandan traditional hunters and doctors that has seen the pre-colonial country of his childhood pass through two colonization events (German and Belgian), the 1950s revolution for independence, the genocide and post-war massacres of the 90s, and the country’s present-day turmoil. Lierman’s family visits have resulted in an ongoing investigation into the soundscape of contemporary urban and rural East African, and of her native region of Virunga in particular. The Wire‘s Phil England comments: “(Non) Humanism & Animism will give festival attendees and radio listeners a unique perspective into a contrasting cultural perspective, one that we hope will transport listeners into another reality while providing an insight into a colonial past that needs confronting as well as a powerful, living example of persistence.”
“Persistence in Mexico, as in other parts of the world, or rather, throughout the world, today, is not a choice or a possibility: it is a condition to be able to survive, to be able to imagine a different future … contributing substantially to critical thinking and resistance throughout the world” writes Mexican sound artist Israel Martínez. With Love and Rage, the artist proposes a tribute to the persistence of resistance via a series of powerful, intimate performances that give “a very strong sonic statement on political activism in Mexico, resonating with many forms of persistence around the world.” Marcus Gammel (Deutschlandfunk Kultur).
The winning works will be premiered at CTM 2019 Festival in Berlin (25.01. – 03.02.2019), with radio versions to be broadcast via Deutschlandfunk Kultur (spring 2019). The works will also be presented by the Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF Austrian Broadcasting Service) via one of their platforms: the ORF Zeit-Ton or Ö1 Kunstradio shows, or the ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst festival in Graz in autumn 2019.
The jury consisted of:
Cedrik Fermont (independent artist and researcher)
Elisabeth Zimmerman (Producer, ORF Kunstradio)
Jan Rohlf (Artistic & Managing Director, CTM Festival)
Marcus Gammel (Curator, Deutschlandfunk Kultur Radio Art / Klangkunst)
Philip England (The Wire)

There are times when I’m out wandering, looking for photos to present themselves that something catches my eye but it’s hard to pinpoint what it is. This was one of those instances. I was walking some trails around St. Peter’s College and I came out into an opening and this scene caught my eye. It wasn’t exactly what I was looking for but knew there was something that visually intrigued. I thought it was the tree that caught my eye but that wasn’t it either. After a couple more tries I finally figured out that it was the haphazard tree branches against the geometric shapes of the fence, brick wall and vent that drew me in. I’m not sure if this kind of photo appeals to everyone. It is just a tree, a fence and a brick wall…but it’s the relationship between the elements that I like!
Anyway, quite often that’s the process that I go through to make an image. Sometimes it works and I come out with a photo I like, and sometimes I never do figure out what caught my eye and come away empty handed. Glad it worked out this time!
