Peter Tavy

The twin village of Mary Tavy, Peter Tavy stands on the opposite bank of the River Tavy and is linked to its twin by a bridle path. The smaller of the two, Peter Tavy has changed little since William Crossing, the historian of Dartmoor, came here in 1909 and described “a quiet little place, with a church embosomed in trees, a chapel, a school and a small inn.”  Inside the impressive medieval church, with its octagonal tower and four pinnacles, is a poignant memorial to the five daughters of a 17th century rector. The oldest of them was less than a year old when she died:

They breathed awhile and looked
the world about

And, like newly-lighted candles,
soon went out.
