| 説明 | Church of St Peter & St James, Halwill Devon - Halgewilla in the 1086 Domesday Survey and early in this century ruins of a chapel remained near the holy well which now sadly seems to be lost to human memory. The remains of two Saxon preaching crosses show that there has been a Christian community here for well over a thousand years.Record of a church & list of rectors dates from the 13c - an early patron was the Prior of St. John of Jerusalem in England. The 14c granite font survives from this earlier building The manor has changed owners several times, and these have included such well-known families as Fortescue, Cary, Arscott and Molesworth. The 14c or earlier tower with 5 bells is original Norman whilst the nave was rebuilt, extended and modified in 1870-9 under architect Samuel Hooper of HatherleighIt comprises west tower, nave, chancel , north & south transepts, north east vestry & south porch A mile up the road was Halwill Junction station opened in 1879 , although not the size of Crewe, it was a major junction for Devon linking with stations from Bideford and Barnstaple in the north to Bude, Camelford and Launceston in the south. in the late 1950s and early 1960s with the increased use of the motorcar, it became unprofitable and a candidate for closure in the Beeching Report. First proposed for closure in April 1964, Halwill saw its connecting lines close one by one over the next few years heralding the end for the formerly important railway junctionAlex Lewis www.google.com/search?q=halwill+church+devon&sca_esv=... |
