Regency Sidmouth

This elegant seaside town was the setting for the Civic Service of East Devon District Council: The Civic heads were welcomed by the Chairman, Cllr. Graham Liverton first to Kennaway House, formerly known as Church House, adjoining the Parish Church of St. Giles and St. Nicholas. Recently restored at a cost of £1M supported by a Heritage Lottery Grant and public appeal this gracious Regency House is now Sidmouth's centre for the arts, exhibitions, events, lectures and learning. The service at the Parish Church was conducted by Prebendary David James and I was able to bring him greetings from St. James Church, Teignmouth where David served as a Curate some years ago.
