Formerly called St Saviours the Parish Church of Tormohun, this was the medieval parish church into which Torquay grew.
The ancient Parish Church of Tormoham, was declared redundant by the Church Authorities in the 1960’s and is now the Greek Orthodox Church of St Andrew. Said to have been built in the 14th century, on the site of an earlier Norman chapel, the parish was part of the property of Torre Abbey until the dissolutionment of the Abbeys in 1539 but much renovated in 1849 and enlarged in 1874.
The Churchyard has a Cholera Corner, Old (Ancient) Well, Memorials from three wars and some very old graves.
