Britain's What's On Event Guide
National Trust - Killerton, Columbjohn Chapel
Heritage Open Day: A single roomed chapel in Romanesque Revival style built in the middle part of the 19th century. Columbjohn House was the Acland family's first residence in Devon and long lost to time. Chat to our volunteers about recent findings from archaeological digs in search of this forgotten manor house. The Tudor graveyard is one of Killerton's hidden secrets. Many of the Acland's servants are buried here, including notorious housekeeper Mrs Craggs who was head of the household in 1851.
There will also be an opportunity to handle and learn about some of the finds recovered from the University of Exeter & National Trust's excavations of Columbjohn Manor in 2024 and 2025 as seen on BBC's Digging for Britain.
A new National Trust passport stamp will be available at Columbjohn Chapel during this event.
Parking at Killerton House only. Chapel is a 2km walk from Visitor Reception.
