Thirty four parishes in Devon will be cut to 23 and 15 parishes in Cornwall will become nine.

The church says the closures will not be "wholesale" and money from the sales will be put into other aspects of church activities.
Plymouth Diocese spokesman Michael Fay said: "Some churches will be closed but some parish priests will serve more than one church.
