Prepared by Michael Steer

The Association's Committee on Church Plate was formed in 1900 to prepare a detailed report of church plate in the Deanery of Totnes. At the Teignmouth meeting in 1904, its scope was extended to the while diocese, dealing with each of the rural deaneries in turn. The Committee's first report, read at Princetown in 1905, focussed on Devonshire goldsmiths and provided a comprehensive list of all goldsmiths and plate workers in the county.
