Thanks tutuzdad, but unfortunately none of these locations could be
described as Devonshire (or Devon) which is towards the South Western
corner of England.

Dear itsalphaandome-ga;

According to Churches of London, vol. ii.; Malcolm: Londinum
Redivivum, vol. iv. p. 356; Allen: London, vol. iii. p. 530., the
palindrome (which means, ?Wash our transgressions, not only our
faces?) is found on the front of these churches:

St. Mary's, Nottingham. 

The basilica of St. Sophia, Constantinople

St. Stephen d'Egres, Paris

St. Menin's Abbey, Orléans Dulwich College; 

Worlingsworth (Suffolk)

Harlow (Essex)

Knapton (Norfolk)

Melton Mowbray (it has since been removed to a neighboring hamlet)

St. Martin's, Ludgate (London)

Hadleigh (Suffolk)

THE DICTIONARY OF PHRASE AND FABLE BY E. COBHAM BREWER

I?m not certain which of these, if any, are located in a ?Devonshire
village? so please let me know if this answers your question.
