Old St Eustachius parish church center of Tavistock town early morning empty streets


Probably Sir Francis Drake was baptised here. The TOWER base dates from 1318, the higher parts from the 15th century. The arches in the North and South walls formed the gateway to the Lay Cemetery separating the parish church from the much longer and narrower Abbey church.
