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. These sites illustrate the town's evolution from a small coastal settlement into a prominent Victorian resort through its diverse parish churches and hilltop chapels.
