St.Michael, Blackawton The present structure was consecrated in 1333 and greatly enlarged in 15th century. During the second world war the inhabitants of the village and the farms around about were summoned to the church and told to leave their houses within 48 hours. The reason being that Eisenhower and Monty were using the nearby beach to practice for the Normandy landings.
