St Germans Priory Church The present church building dates to the 13th century when it was built as part of an Augustinian Priory on the site of the county’s first cathedral. When Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, the Priory church was spared from destruction in 1539 due to its continued use as the parish church.

HGV on the A38 The A38 is a major A-class trunk route. When first designated in 1922, it ran from Derby to Plymouth but it was later extended at both ends so that it now runs for 292 miles from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire to Bodmin in Cornwall. Prior to the opening of the M5 motorway in the 1960s and 1970s, the A38 formed the main "holiday route" from the Midlands to Somerset, Devon and Cornwall and the south-western section was notorious at holiday times for the congestion. Nowadays, for most of the southern section, the A38 is a fairly quiet road shadowing the M5 extremely closely; often running alongside the motorway as a single carriageway road. The section between Exeter and Plymouth is, however, a busy dual carriageway which serves as the southern extension of the M5 and is known as “the Devon Expressway”.

Saint German's church Was originally the seat of the bishop of Cornwall, consecrated in 1261. Really surprising inside, looks more like a small cathedral
