Those views are stunning mate - where is that?

[kheldar]

they live on the edge of dartmoor.

buckland in the moor.

[Bailey73]

Buckland in the Moor is a village and civil parish in the Teignbridge district of Devon, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 94. The village is in Dartmoor.

The tower of the church, showing the famous clock.The church is made of stone quarried on the moor. The face of the clock spells out My Dear Mother. The baptismal font is Norman, and decorated with leaves and stars.

Nearby there is a viewpoint called Buckland Beacon where you can also find the 10 Commandment Stones(1282 ft)

In 1927 The Lord of Buckland Manor, Mr Whitley, learnt that parliament had rejected a proposed revision of the Book of Common Prayer using Jesus' Two Commandments instead of Moses' Ten, at Holy Communion.

He celebrated by engaging Mr W A Clements, a stonemason from Exeter, to engrave granite stones in situ on Buckland Beacon with the Ten Commandments. He started work on 15 December 1927 and completed the job on 14 June 1928. Whilst engraving the stones he lived in a cow shed on the site and was supplied each week with a loaf of bread by Mr Whitley.

In later years Mr Clements said, "Day after day I was on my knees chipping away and I wondered if the originator of the Commandments suffered from an aching back and sore knees as I did". If you glance at the stones you will find eleven commandments the eleventh inscribed, 'A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another. John 13 v34

May have to pop down there one day...

..we enjoy going to small villages and looking around.

Crikey, im only 34 and im already like my parents. lol

[kheldar]

thats the place.

iirc the chap who built the church dedicated it to his mother hence the clock face.

the village also contains a group of 'chocolate box' cottages - very picturesque thatched places that feature on many a box of chocolate and fudge u buy in uk gift shops.

its also where one of the beacons was lit to tell england of the approach of the spanish armada in 1588.

in 1988 we were all up on the beacon and we lit it again to celebrate 400 years of the victory we enjoyed over the spanish via drake.

as well as all the other ones up the coast of england. you could see other from where we were.

[Bailey73]

I know of Dunkery beacon in Exmoor....was that part of it?

[kheldar]

not entirely sure would need to check.
