HISTORY
Approach the market town of South Molton from any direction and the tower of the church is a prominent landmark.
The town has a long history, much of it closely connected with the churches that occupied this site.
Here you will find some of the intriguing history associated with St. Mary Magdalene Parish Church.
(If you are accessing this information whilst at St. Mary Magdalene it may help you get your bearings to be aware that the tower is at the west end of the building, that you will enter via the south door, and the altar is located, as is traditional, at the east end,)
