St. Magdalene Church at Chulmleigh is surrounded by pristine countryside. It is over 600 years old and has played a dominating role in the development of the town. British Magazine Editor, William James Rose was in 1834, Rector of Fairsted, Essex, and in 1835 appointed perpetual curate of St. Thomas's, Southwark, which he held until his death. Rose was a firm but cautious high-churchman, and desired the restoration of the ancient Anglican doctrines and practices. To propagate his views he founded in 1832 the 'British Magazine and Monthly Register of Religious and Ecclesiastical Information,' of which he was the first editor. Samuel Roffey Maitland (1792-1866) Rose's co-editor was an historian and miscellaneous writer on religious topics. He was in Anglican orders, and worked also as a librarian, and barrister.
