St Mary’s Church, Luppitt

Please see the calendar for details of our services.

There is physical evidence of the existence of a Christian community in Luppitt since shortly after the Conquest. The present Church building is believed to have been constructed early in the fourteenth century.

Church members are closely involved in the life of the village, and the community is friendly and helpful to the church, content with its historical presence, used to its fund raising, and willing to support in all sorts of ways. Many of those who do not worship regularly contribute nonetheless to church funds.

Services are usually held in the Church on the first four Sundays of each month.  During the colder winter months, November until February, services are held in private homes and the Village Hall.  The exception being Remembrance and our special Christmas services.

The earliest known record of Luppitt’s bells is dated 1553, and during the twentieth century the ring was twice augmented, to six bells in 1928, and to eight bells in 1974. There is an active band of ringers, which is affiliated to the Guild of Devonshire Ringers
