Religious Heritage in Torquay
Torquay’s religious heritage spans from the 13th-century medieval Chapel of St Michael to significant 19th-century Victorian Gothic structures. The collection features notable architecture by William Butterfield at St Matthias and All Saints, alongside the Greek Orthodox Church of St Andrews, which occupies a building dating to 1884.
