Honiton, St Michael
Believed to date from the late 15th Century this beautiful Grade II* listed former church was the main parish church of Honiton, before St. Paul's was built in the 1830's along the High Street. With the congregation significantly diminished the church was officially closed. Extending to over 3,600 sqft (340 sqm) the building comprises nave, north and south transepts, north and south aisles, chancel, north and south chapels, west tower and north porch. The building is built of local chert rubble stone with ashlar dressings of Beer Stone under slate roofs which includes four dormers. The church was badly damaged by a fire in 1911 and sympathetically restored, however is now in need of some refurbishment and reuse, subject to consents. The property being sold includes a small area of path around the perimeter of the building as illustrated by the red line.

How buying it together would work
- Pledge a number. Your name and amount go on this page. It is a signal, not a payment — nobody is charged, and you can ask to be removed at any time.
- Reach the number. When pledges cover the asking price (plus a reserve for closing costs, title, survey and the first year of upkeep), the page closes and the group is introduced.
- Form the entity. Neighbors decide the structure — a nonprofit, a co-op, a land trust, or a single buyer with donations. A real-estate attorney drafts it; a title company or solicitor holds funds in escrow.
- Buy, then decide what it is. Worship, a community hall, a school, housing, or simply keeping the doors open and the organ playing. The deed records the promise.
