St Thomas Church Exeter
Heritage Open Day: Unique Grade 1 Church, re-built in the Commonwealth period (1657), with a significant place in the Prayer Book Rebellion of 1549. The present site of the Church dates from 1412, moved from a site nearer the River Exe because of constant flooding.
During the Reformation period, the New Prayer Book with its many changes was adopted. When Devon and Cornwall rose up in 1549 to restore the old Latin services, Robert Welshe, the Vicar, joined the rebels and according to John Hooker was, 'the arch captain and principal doer, an active director of the rebellion.' He was also instrumental in the condemnation of one of Lord Russell's messengers, Kingwell, who was hanged by the rebels on Exe Island.
