Parish & priory church of Saint Mary, Totnes, Devon. Diocse of Exeter, sunny blue sky

---

The name Totnes (first recorded in AD 979) comes from the Old English personal name Totta and ness or headland.[7] Before reclamation and development, the low-lying areas around this hill were largely marsh or tidal wetland, giving the hill much more the appearance of a "ness" than today. By the 12th century, Totnes was already an important market town, due to its position on one of the main roads of the South West, in conjunction with its easy access to its hinterland and the easy navigation of the River Dart.
