Bere Ferrers

Bere Ferrers is a small village on the Bere peninsula in south Devon, England. Bere Ferrers railway station on the Tamar Valley Line is nearby.

Bere Ferrers is located to the north of Plymouth, on the west bank of the River Tavy.

The church has the oldest Stained-glass window in Devon, excepting Exeter Cathedral; it is 600 years old. The church saw the death, in 1821, of the antiquarian draughtsman Charles Alfred Stothard who was killed on falling while making a tracing from a window.
