Welcome to the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, Stoke Canon

The church of Stoke Canon was probably one of the Domesday churches of Devon. The church of St Mary Magdalene, which was rebuilt in the late1830’s (with the exception of the 15^th century tower), is located in the centre of the village a few miles North of Exeter on the A396 Tiverton road.   It is a Grade 1 listed building which contains a celebrated Norman Font, one of the oldest in Devon.

As part of the Netherexe Mission Community we are committed to maintaining a worshipping, witnessing community in our parish and to making the gospel known to people of all ages and backgrounds.    In our local church life we seek to be welcoming and accessible for all generations; to offer relevant and appropriate worship and study opportunities; and to serve other people by building community and meeting identified needs.

More information about the history of the church (including interior photographs and a note about the Boone family connection) is available as an Adobe pdf file. Please click here (opens in a new window)
