"The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady is a 150-year-old Catholic church. The church was built on the land donated by Robert Shedden Sulyarde Cary. The Right Reverend George Errington, who is the first Bishop of Plymouth, laid the first stone. The Northern aisle was built with the Lady Chapel in the late 1850s when Canon Edward Windeyer was Parish Priest. The Southern aisle and Chapel of the Sacred Heart were built fifty years later as a gift from Colonel Lucius Cary, and they were blessed by the Right Reverend Dr Graham, third Bishop of Plymouth. The renovation was executed by Monsignor Anthony Gilby, Parish Priest, in 1981. The church provides teaching services; contact them to get more details about it.
