The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady was built on land donated by Robert Shedden Sulyarde Cary. The Right Reverend George Errington, first Bishop of Plymouth, laid and blessed the first stone on 24th April 1853, in a ceremony also attended by the Honourable and Very Reverend Canon Clifford and Canon Power. The church was consecrated by the Bishop less than a year later on 17th February 1854.
