ONE of the smallest churches in Devon is hosting a visit by Olympic torch bearer and London Marathon runner Andrew Vallance from Okehampton at its 171st anniversary on June 3. The Rev Barrie Duke marks 25 years as minister of Oak Baptist Church near Inwardleigh on the same day at 2.30pm.

These achievements are being linked with jubilee celebrations at Folly Gate on June 2 when funds will be raised for Oak Baptist and Inwardleigh Parish Church and people will have the chance to hold an Olympic torch.
