Tavistock Subscription Library was founded in 1799 by: John Taylor, a 19-year-old engineer from Norwich who had come to Tavistock to manage a local copper and tin mine; John Cummins, of about the same age as Taylor, a bookseller; Edward Bray, the young Tavistock curate; and Reverend William Evans, an older man, a non-conformist minister who ran a local school. John Taylor became an eminent mining engineer and a Fellow of the Royal Society.
The Library is located in Guildhall Square in Tavistock PL19 0AE next to the well-known Court Gate Archway, between the archway and the Tavistock Museum. Our front door is just to the left of the Museum entrance.

Our society was founded in 1984 and has been going from strength to strength ever since. We organise meetings and visits and run a photographic archive, based in Court Gate in Bedford Square.
We usually meet on the second Tuesday of the month except in October when it changes to avoid the evening of Goose Fair. During the summer months we organise external visits to places of local historic interest including an all day coach trip.
Tuesday evening meetings usually take place at 7.30pm in the Parish Rooms behind the Vicarage in Plymouth Road next to the Bedford Hotel. All Society events are free to members unless otherwise stated.

Tamar Energy Community is a not for profit, community owned social enterprise run by our members.
We localise energy.
We’re all spending a lot of money on heating and powering our homes (around £16m per year, or £44,000 a day across the Tavistock area). With much of this spend going to the big power companies the majority of the benefit leaves our local economy like a leaking bucket.
We provide independent energy advice and support, develop community owned renewable energy projects, and are working to understand how local people can gain greater benefit from the changing energy market.
Addressing the Climate and Biodiversity Emergency and how we can Build Back Better is at the core of our work.
We welcome your support in helping us achieve this together.
Tamar Energy Community is a community energy cooperative for Tavistock, Callington and the Tamar valley.

Jane and Mary Parminter were non-conformists belonging to the Glenorchy Independent (Congregational) Church in Exmouth. However, they found that bad weather, especially in the wintertime, often prevented them from making the journey to church. One story says that they did not wish their coachman to work on the Sabbath and they therefore decided to build their own chapel in a field adjacent to their home. At the same time they decided to create a small resident community for needy women and the idea of the almshouses was born. The tiny chapel and its surrounding almshouses was built in 1811 and licensed for worship in 1812 by the Bishop of Exeter. At that time special dispensation had to be granted for public worship for “His Majesty’s Protestant subjects dissenting from the Church of England”.
A manse was built in 1829 as a residence for the Chaplain and is still now occupied by the current Chaplain who also acts as Warden for the almshouses. Services are still held in the Chapel but now only once a week at 11.00am every Sunday. There is a small regular congregation, with a background from several denominations, including some of the residents, although the requirement to attend worship is no longer applied! Although the Chapel remains independent, there is a strong association with the United Reformed Church and especially with Glenorchy URC in Exmouth, where some of the Trustees are members.

We are a group of people who try as best we can to make God’s love real in all we do together. Through our worship and our work we try to reach out to our community and make the Good News of Jesus known in practical, caring ways.
We welcome everyone to join us for our Sunday morning services, which are warm and relaxed. We sing traditional and contemporary hymns projected onto a screen. Our hymn books are Rejoice and Sing (the URC’s own hymn book), New Hymns and Worship Songs and Church Hymnary 4. We hope and pray that each person will experience something of the love of God here.
If you are seeking a church family to call home, we would love to have you join our membership – all are welcome – there are no hoops to jump through!
The motto coined by our founder is ‘Within these walls let no one be a stranger’ and we do our best to make that true for everyone.

Our beautiful, historic Meeting House, near the village of Uffculme, Mid Devon, serves a wide area with many Quakers (Friends) living in the surrounding villages.
We meet every Sunday at 10.30am for a one hour Meeting for Worship, followed by Afterwords and Notices. There are then refreshments.
At Spiceland, the Worship is followed by a few minutes of “Afterwords” during which anyone present can talk about any thoughts they may have had during the meeting, even though they did not feel prompted to speak during the hour’s Worship. This experience can often be uplifting.
We are trying to reduce our carbon footprint so if you would like to lift share to a Meeting please contact us.
Please see our website for Covid restrictions.
