Welcome to the website for Saint Paul’s, the Church of England parish church for the village of Landkey....

The tranquil village of Landkey is situated just three miles from the busy market town of Barnstaple in North Devon. With a growing population in excess of 1500, a strong sense of community exists within the village and, of this, the church is an important part. As well as offering regular Christian worship, the church provides valuable links to other areas of the community such as the local Primary School and the Mothers’ Union.
Located in a shallow valley in which green fields and neat hedgerows abound, Landkey is surrounded by the beautiful rolling green hills for which this part of North Devon is renowned. A similarly scenic landscape is likely to have greeted Saint Kea when he arrived here in the 5th century AD and established a church for the first time in this area. It is from Saint Kea, that Landkey takes its name. The present-day St Paul’s is built on the site of the original church and still provides an imposing presence in the village.
