Welcome to Modbury

Modbury lies in a hollow and is surrounded by the rolling hills and ridges of the South Hams in Devon. Visitors are surprised and delighted by its dignified terraced houses, slate-hung walls, old shop windows and classical doorways – an urban landscape within a rural setting.

The earliest documented history of Modbury is found in the Domesday Book and the town has seen many developments and events over the centuries including two civil war battles. Today Modbury remains a thriving town with a strong community spirit.

The Project

The Heritage project aims to raise awareness of Modbury’s rich history.

There were four partners who provided initial support for the project:

The Modbury Parish Council
The Modbury History Society
St George’s Church
The Modbury Society

This website presents the four elements of the Heritage project.

A comprehensive database of historic information and parish records, provided by the Modbury History Society.
A selection of historic photographs from the Modbury Baker Collection that is currently held in the West Devon Records Office.
A record of the historic town sites in Modbury that have been identified with mounted plaques.
A timeline exhibition of ten panels of Modbury Heritage Topics.

The website has continued to grow with the addition of the Heritage Trail, additional pictures and information about the town’s history.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
