Church of England. The Devonport Deanery

ST. AUBYN'S. The parish of Devonport St Aubyn falls within the Devonport Deanery. The church is located in Chapel Street, PL1 4DP.

Depending on the date you are reading this St Aubyn's church may have already been de-consecrated. The Grade II listed building was given planning permission in 2008 to convert to a community facility - to include a library and computer facilities on the ground floor, and a gallery/exhibition space, rooms for meetings and space for worship on the mezzanine floors. The conversion project, part of Devonport's regeneration programme, was part funded by Devonport Regeneration Community Partnership. Drawings of the building survey carried out by Preston Engineering, showing the external architectural elevations together with cross sections, floor plans and details of the bell tower, may be seen on the Preston Engineering website. The refurbished building at time of writing, June 2009, is planned to open in March 2010. Whilst work is being carried out on the church, Services will be held at the Green Ark Children's Centre Fore Street, every Sunday at 9.30am until further notice.

ST MICHAEL'S. The parish of Devonport St Michael falls within the Devonport Deanery. The church is located in Albert Road, Devonport.

The first Service in the new church was held on 31 May 2009, but the official opening was on Sunday 21st June 2009, with a Service led by the Bishop of Plymouth.
