There are about 150 graves some are very old, in this quiet graveyard in the centre of the village.
The village of Bridestowe in West Devon is so named after the 5th Century St Brigidia to whom its church is also dedicated.
Bridestowe is a quiet rural village on the edge of Dartmoor and offers little more to its visitors than the peaceful tranquility.
The main trunk road from London to Penzance ran through the centre of Bridestowe until the United States army built a bypass around the North of the village while stationed in the area during the Second World War.
The church records start in 1696.
