Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity Church at Buckfastleigh was destroyed by arson in 1992 and none of its wooden artefacts survive, including those produced by V. Pinwill.

Reredos – Photograph (PWDRO 116/30); 1936

The reredos was a memorial to Mary White, Churchwarden, and was given by the Mother’s Union on St Luke’s Day 1936. It is comparatively plain and may have been designed for a side altar, of which there were several. It should not be confused with a more elaborate one made by Herbert Read of Exeter in 1928 (DHC DEX/9/a/2/Buckfastleigh/7) that was probably for the main altar.
