The Church of St Peter the Poor Fisherman in Revelstoke, Noss Mayo, Devon, England was built in 1226.[1] It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building,[2] and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[3] It was declared redundant on 6 April 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 28 June 1972.[4]

The mediaeval church has Saxon origins with portions being built in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries.[2] The aisle and the porch still have their carved wagon roofs however the roofs have fallen down over the rest of the building.[3]

Around 1870 a new church, also named St Peters, was built nearby and this church fell into disrepair. It is still consecrated and occasional services are held in the church during the summer.
