Lamerton: Historic Buildings and Building History

Lamerton combines several listed buildings with different historical periods. If you are looking for hotels for a stay in the village, these features can help you decide what to focus on: the parish church is notable for its medieval dating, Ye Olde Priest's House reveals several stages in its building history, and Collacombe Manor is associated with the Tremayne family. A regular Evensong service adds a specific date to this picture.

Historic Buildings from Different Periods

The Church of St Peter in Lamerton is a Grade II* listed parish church. Its origins are dated to the late 14th or early 15th century. This places the church chronologically between the origins of Ye Olde Priest's House in the 13th century and its rebuilding in the late 16th century.

Ye Olde Priest's House is a Grade II listed building in Lamerton. Its origins in the 13th century were followed by rebuilding in the late 16th century and restoration in 1934. This sequence distinguishes the building's origins, rebuilding and later restoration—three different historical periods that you can keep separate when comparing building histories.

Collacombe Manor is also listed: the manor house in Lamerton is Grade I listed and was the home of the Tremayne family. The three buildings therefore represent different historical points of reference: a parish church dated to a particular period, a house with several building phases, and a manor house with a family connection. The Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II listings provide another basis for comparison alongside the respective building histories.

A Church Service as a Specific Date

An Evensong service is held at Lamerton Parish Church at 6:30 pm on the first Sunday of every month. If this service is important for your stay, check the date again before travelling. This lets you include the recurring service in your plans, while the church's building history describes a different historical period.

Landscape Connections and Bus Service

The western part of the Lamerton neighbourhood area lies within the Tamar Valley National Landscape. To the northeast, the area borders Dartmoor National Park. These are different spatial relationships: a location within the National Landscape in the west and a boundary with the National Park in the northeast. If you take the landscape setting into account when planning your trip, this distinction can help you get your bearings.

A regular bus service runs in the Lamerton neighbourhood area. Check the current timetable before you travel to make sure the bus suits your travel day.

Compare the Tavistock Cycle Route by Length

If you include the Tavistock Cycle Route in your travel plans, you can choose between a short 11-mile option and a long 26-mile option. The two route lengths differ by 15 miles, giving you a specific comparison to help with your planning. Check the current route conditions before setting off.
