Denbury Cistern

Highlight • Monument

Denbury Cistern is a historic water conduit head that stands in the centre of Denbury village. It was built in 1771 and supplied water to four street taps in the village. The water was piped from Denbury Hill, an Iron Age hill fort nearby. The cistern has a pyramidal roof with a finial that bears the date of its construction. It also carries the war memorials for the village. The cistern may have originally been the village lock-up, converted to use as a water cistern later. In 2001, the cistern was restored and interpreted with a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

St Mary the Virgin Church, Denbury

Highlight • Religious Site

St Mary the Virgin is a parish church in Denbury, Devon. It is part of The Beacon Parishes Mission Community, which includes five churches in the area. The church dates back to the 11th century, when the manor of Denbury belonged to Aeldred, Archbishop of York. The present building was consecrated in 1318 by Bishop Stapleden of Exeter and has a cruciform shape with transepts but no side aisles. The church has a fine and spacious chancel, a painted rood screen, a piscina and a circular font that is older than the rest of the building. The tower is 62 feet high and has five bells, two of which were cast in the 17th century. The church is currently seeking volunteers and funds to carry out works on the bell restoration.
