Churches in Dawlish Parish
St George

St. George's is to be found in the heart of the village, below the Castle Inn. It was built in Victorian times as a school and worship centre and consecrated to St George the Martyr on April 22nd 1945. The congregation is drawn from the village of Holcombe and from Dawlish and Teignmouth. They value the friendliness and community spirit that a smaller church can provide.
There is a beautiful garden alongside the Church which many value as a place for prayer and quiet reflection. The garden is open all the time, although only accessible up a few steps. The church itself is open everyday between at least the hours of 10 am and 4 pm, often for longer.
In 2017, to mark the 150th anniversary of the original building, a major building project on our small church rooms was undertaken. As a result of this we now have step free access via the refurbished Church Rooms into the Church when any services or events are taking place.
As well as Sunday services, we host a small but lively Messy Church, a midweek service of Holy Communion or Quiet Reflection, a monthly "Drop In" with tea cake, games and knitting for a purpose, a Bible Study, a discussion group over a meal at the local pub and a monthly lunch club in conjunction with the Residents' Association.
We pray for the work of St George's Baghdad, and the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East, and send humanitarian aid to the Middle East via Samara's Aid.
In the week before the centenary of the Armistice, St George's hosted in conjunction with the local community, a Commemorative Display entitled "100 Years On".

St Mary's, Cofton is a small, attractive listed building nestled in one corner of the parish of Cofton. This parish includes the village of Cockwood, half a mile down the lane, the hamlet of Eastdon, and Dawlish Warren with its holiday parks and new developments.
The friendly congregation is drawn from across the parish. The former farming hamlet of Cofton, in which the church itself is set, is now the site of the award winning Cofton Country Holidays, which is very supportive towards the life of the Church. This ensures that the Holiday Park Overflow car park, next to the Church, is available for our use at times of services etc.
Our worship is open and welcoming, using Common Worship and a mix of traditional and more modern music, usually sung to the organ. Members of the congregation share in the readings and intercessions during the services.
All are welcome to worship with us, regardless of church tradition.
At St Mary's Cofton during the summer we welcome many holiday makers from the Holiday Park. All ages are given a very warm welcome although sadly Covid regs currently mean that the toys and books for children have had to be removed. During the summer we have also opened our Church one day a week in order that anyone can look around and perhaps have a cup of coffee or tea, a chat or just to sit and feel the peaceful quietness in a very busy life.
As part of the Dawlish Coast Benefice, we welcome the opportunities that brings, and during Lockdown members of the church have joined with others from the other churches on Zoom Morning Prayer, prayer meetings, study groups and coffee times as well as the Benefice telephone service. Many members also appreciate the online You Tube service edited by another of the Benefice churches.
The new churchyard is still open for burials and serves the local community in this way. Between the old and new churchyards is a small, pretty area of land, which since the summer of 2020 has been turned into a Prayer Garden. Anyone, parish resident or visitor, is welcome to place a stone or other natural/biodegradable object here as a symbol of a prayer. You will also find prayer resources in the Lychgate. This is offered as a place of quiet reflection and prayer, however that is understood, and is much appreciated by those who use it.
