Queen Elizabeth II
On behalf of the parishioners of North Bovey, North Bovey Parish Council would like to express its sadness at the death of our Queen Elizabeth II and to applaud her for a life of unwavering duty to her Country, Commonwealth and Subjects. She will be sadly missed, but at the same time we must celebrate the wonderful life she has paved over her 96 years, with 70 of those at the head of the Realm. May she rest in peace.

Half of what I raise will come to St John’s, with the rest going to a central fund, to which any historic church in Devon can apply for help. Many in North Bovey have very generously supported me in previous years, and…

North Bovey Fair – Thank you!
An enormous ‘Thank you‘ from the whole NB Fair team to everyone who donated and came to the North Bovey Fair on Saturday! What a fabulous day it was.
