St Matthew’s Church

Here is a report from the Crediton Courier about the rededication ceremony at St Matthew’s Church in Coldridge:

More than 170 people attended from across the UK, the day beginning with the Act of Re-Dedication Service which was performed by Rev Jo Stobart, the Bishop of Exeter’s Chaplain, assisted by Rev Preb Peter Rapsey.

The programme for the rest of the day included a talk entitled “The Tudor Lady” by author Rosemary Griggs, which was followed by an illustrated talk by Coldridge Historian and Lead Researcher for the Missing Princes Project, John Dike.

Lunch and music on the Village Green was followed by a highlight of the day, an illustrated talk by television celebrity and author, Philippa Langley MBE, on the theme “The Princes in the Tower – How History’s Greatest Cold Case Was Solved”.
