This beautiful old stone bridge which crosses the East Dart River at Postbridge in the centre of Dartmoor is probably totally ignored by most people, who tend to stand on it to look at the most famous clapper bridge in the south-west of England, which is just a few yards away. But it is a lovely bridge in its own right and dates from around 1780. It is Grade II-listed and carries the main road across Dartmoor from Moretonhampstead to Princetown.

In 1965 Louis I. Kahn was commissioned by the Phillips Exeter Academy to design a library for the school. “No longer a mere depository of books and magazines, the modern library becomes a laboratory for research and experimentation, a quiet retreat for study, reading and reflection, the intellectual center of the community.… Fulfilling needs of a school expected eventually to number one thousand students, unpretentious, though in a handsome, inviting contemporary style, such a library would affirm the regard at the Academy for the work of the mind and the hands of man.” People enter the 111′x111′ square library from the ground floor and climb up a grand set of stone stairs to the first floor. Coming up the last step onto the first floor one can immediately perceive the relationship of reference area, circulation desk, and book stacks. text from archdaily.com

The original church (on the right) was consecrated in 1260 and "altered and added to" by Bishop Grandison of Exeter c. 1330. However, there are virtually no Decorated features (such as tracery) on the exterior, the style being basically "Early Gothic," although ogee arches flank the otherwise austere west portal. St Mary is also unusual in having two towers over the main transepts, a feature otherwise found only at Exeter. The so-called "Dorset Aisle" (at the left) was added in the early 16th C., naturally in the Perpendicular style, and it is the only substantial addition to the old church. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born in Ottery St Mary in 1772. His father was the vicar of St Mary.
