Overview
A local parish church which is open to visitors. Admission is free but donations would be appreciated.
Transport & Parking
Sidmouth doesn't have a railway station. The 9 or 9A bus from Exeter takes about 35 - 45 minutes and stops at the Sidmouth Triangle. There are other local bus services that go to Sidmouth. The church is just around the corner from the Sidmouth Triangle.
Access
There is a step free entrance next to Sidmouth Museum. There's a traditional church door to open/ close to gain admission. Once inside the church is step free apart from a couple of steps to the altar, however the altar area was cordoned off when I visited.
Toilets
Don't know. However there is an accessible toilet requiring radar key, round the corner from the museum at the Sidmouth Triangle.
Staff
Didn't see any when I visited.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
The church dates from Norman times but was extensively rebuilt, apart from the tower, in the mid-1800s. It has some beautiful stained glass. In the churchyard is the town’s War Memorial. It's peaceful and well worth visiting if you are nearby.
