Woodbury

Woodbury Parish, which incorporates the villages of Woodbury, Woodbury Salterton and Exton, is currently one of the largest parishes in Devon. It encompasses much of Woodbury Common - an area of outstanding natural beauty - and enjoys a thriving community spirit rooted in the church and chapel, in the school and in agriculture. In days of old the parish was frequented by Sir Francis Drake, and a chapel dedicated to the memory of the Drake family is situated in St Swithun's Church.
