Teign Estuary Transition is a local initiative to move towards a low energy, sustainable future. We are a group of local people who are concerned about the twin challenges of diminishing oil and gas supplies, known as ‘Peak Oil’, and climate change.
We believe that these challenges can be turned into real opportunities for us in a step-by-step ‘transition’ to a sustainable future. As part of a growing movement of Transition initiatives around the world we want to create a healthier, happier environment to live in.
We want to inspire creative solutions in the transition to a low carbon future. Local activities are shown to work! We can share ideas, help to generate awareness and enthusiasm, and above all we intend to have fun.

We want people in the local area to become more aware of, and engaged with their use of energy, so that energy becomes as familiar as money.
How have we done this?
We have set up a Community Benefit Society (CBS). This allows us to help you realise your Renewable Energy installations, Energy Saving project or simply to raise your awarenes on Energy matters. TECs has a broad range of experience and wide network of individuals and organisations we can call on. We are a not-for-profit co-operative with a secure income, this allows us to offer most of our support for free.
How do we put our vision into practice?
As well as helping businesses, organisations or households put renewable energy installations on sites they own or occupy, we also want to work with you and your wider community to become more aware of your energy use.
By engaging with energy use, we are all more likely to understand and appreciate it. This can also lead to a change in our attitudes and behaviour when using energy, not just at work or school, but also when we go home.

A very warm welcome to the Church of St. Andrew Kenn. St. Andrews is one of the most beautiful churches in Devon. The present building has roots that go back a thousand years. The fabric of the building has absorbed the hopes and prayers of its congregations over the centuries and St. Andrews is now a very special and calming place to worship in this modern age. We would love to welcome you at one of our regular services but you are equally welcome to browse this web site which we hope will give you an insight into the role St. Andrews plays in the community life of Kenn, Kennford and Clapham.

St Andrew’s Church is highly visible at the centre of the village and for many miles around, especially at night when the tower is floodlit (by voluntary donations). It is a large building mostly dating from about 1450, and the large number of clear glass windows give it a “light and airy” feeling during the day. It holds up to 240 people. The building is in good condition for its age and there are no outstanding works of repair other than day to day maintenance.

The Parish Church of Ashburton, dedicated to St. Andrew, is situated in West Street, just a short walk from the centre of the town. The earliest known records of the Church date back to the 12th Century when John the Chanter, Bishop of Exeter (1186-91) gave it to the Chapter of Exeter Cathedral
In the 14th century, Walter de Stapeldon, Bishop of Exeter (1307-26), Lord Treasurer of the Realm, a trusted servant of King Edward II, hearing of its dilapidated condition, formally visited the Church on April 3rd, 1314 and finding amongst other defects the North Aisle in ruins, ordered these to be remedied on pain of a heavy fine.
Rebuilt in the 15th century the Church has traces of 13th and 14th century remains incorporated in the building. A product of the 15th century mason, impressive in it's stately dignity, grandly proportioned and possessing a strong individuality, the tower rises 92 feet to it's embattled parapet. The tower contains one of the finest peals of eight bells in the district.

We meet on the first Wednesday of every month in the Church House, Widecombe, and everyone is welcome. We have guest speakers and go on guided walks and visits arranged to suit the interests of the members, usually with a local or Dartmoor flavour.
This site is intended as a reference for members and for all those who cannot attend our meetings but are interested in the history of Widecombe, whether as a visitor to Dartmoor or perhaps with family connections here.
The Group is very active with some fascinating projects on the go and a full programme of events. The projects are always in need of more information, so if you have any snippets of information, photos or other material, however small, please let us know.
Our new 'food for thought' pages tell the story of some of the items we discuss at our monthly meetings based on pictures or thoughts that are brought in by our members, or sent in by correspondents.

Widecombe Digital Archive This is the home of the digital version of Widecombe's community, heritage & cultural assets. The Widecombe Digitising Project is a project of the Widecombe History Group that started in 2011 and is on-going. Periodically, as and when new assets are digitised, they will be added to this site.
This site provides search and display facilities for all the assets that we are able to put online.
It is divided into a number of collections and the Collections Page lists those currently available.
