Petrockstowe, St Petroc
The building
St Petroc’s is a Grade II* listed closed church, sitting within a churchyard containing burials, in the north Devon village of Petrockstowe being located some 12 miles south of Bideford and 9 miles north of Okehampton. It occupies a prominent location set back from the road behind a row of cottages and a disused pub. Of the 15th century building only the west tower, north aisle arcade, font and some window and door stonework remains, the rest having been taken down and completely rebuilt to the designs of J F Gould of Barnstaple in 1877-79. It is built of sandstone with Delabole slate roofs and consists of a west tower, 3-bay aisled nave with south porch, 2-bay chancel with north vestry and south chapel. Initial feedback from the local planning authority indicates that non-residential uses are likely to be favoured and potential alternative uses need to be sympathetic to the churchyard and the listed character of the church building. Offers for the freehold are sought, please contact the agent below.

How a group buys it
- A reader enters a pledge: a name and an amount, recorded on this page. It is a declaration of intent, not a payment. Nothing is charged, and a pledge may be withdrawn on request.
- When the pledges against the building cover the asking price, together with a reserve for closing costs, title, survey and the first year of upkeep, the page closes and the pledgers are introduced to one another.
- The group settles its legal form: a nonprofit, a co-operative, a land trust, or a single buyer collecting donations. An attorney drafts the instrument, and a title company or solicitor holds the funds in escrow.
- The purchase completes, and the group decides the building's use: worship, a hall, a school, housing, or simple preservation. The deed records the arrangement.
