Two churches: Exeter and Oxford villages
Among the most popular posts on 'Wreck..' are ones about churches. You do love your former places of worship. So I've picked two today but I'm also going to deliver a bit of a sermon about planning permission. The first, pictured above, is St Anthony, in the hamlet of Cowley, around one-and-a-half miles from Exeter. It's currently listed on the Church of England's Closed Churches for Disposal page, which I've previously written about here . St Anthony's is Grade II listed, has a churchyard, and is on the market at offers around £150k. More details here . It's a lovely shape and in a pretty setting. However, unlike the chapel below Anthony's doesn't come with planning permission to turn it into a home. That, and the more southerly location, are responsible for the £100k difference in the price. If you were interested in St Anthony's, you'd need to start with a chat with the agent to find out what enquires have already been made...
