Looking at these photographs of Drewsteignton by John Curno we have a glimpse of a tiny part of our rural world that remains intact - a small miracle that is worthy of celebration.
With thatched cottages set close by an ancient granite church,the heart of Drewsteignton is the perfect picture of a Devon village.Yet the parish of Drewsteignton is spread wide,cascading over the rolling hills of the Dartmoor borderlands where small farmsteads nestle in wooded combes and deep lanes wind between high hedgebanks.Nearby,the landscape is riven by the deep scar of the Teign valley overlooked by the imposing ramparts of Castle Drogo,the last true castle to be built in England.It is amid this idyllic landscape that the people of the parish dwell,here portrayed through the exceptional photographs of John Curno.
