St Leonards, Sheepstor Audio trail.
In 2010 The PCC of St Leonards, Sheepstor on Dartmoor discussed how they could use their beautiful; Church for mission. They decided to write a bid to the Exeter Diocese Million For Mission Fund. The idea was to provide an 'audio trail' experience for the many visitors that the Church has. I was invited to assist with this interesting project and we researched the possibility of making this idea a reality. The grant bid was successful and the Church received £2000 from the Diocese toward their project . The Churchwardens developed the project working closely with staff and students from Plymouth University Humanities and Performing Arts Department who researched, wrote and recorded scripts on various aspects of the Churches life and history. The University students also designed, built and installed the audio equipment in the Church. The video on this page showcases just one section of the recording. This has been an exciting project that will help visitors of all ages appreciate this Church. It is hoped that further material will be developed over time to include leaflets and prayer helps.
