Event information
SHARON GEDYE: an independent researcher and landscape blogger. With an academic background in physical geography, Sharon enjoys exploring all the things that go into making a landscape – its natural and cultural elements. Having taught hydrology, watery themes are a favourite.
TALK: Today, all that remains of St John's is a 'holy well' which, based on research, is an Edwardian fake. This talk shows how St John's, on the south bank of the Tavy, used to be a religious site, a hospital, and hermitage, serving a role on the main road from the south into Tavistock, across the Great Bridge. The talk will consider the post-dissolution fate of St John's and its final destruction by the railway.
