Plans for a Peacemaker Festival are being considered by residents of East Budleigh to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the founding of Salem, Massachusetts.
Ideas have been put forward to stage events which would both honour Roger Conant and highlight the importance of peacemakers in troubled times.
The Rt Revd Dr Mike Harrison, Bishop of Exeter, has accepted an invitation to address the Festival on 16 May 2026. Much-needed funds will be raised for All Saints' Church, seen here, where Roger Conant and his family worshipped.
Funds from this ticketed event could benefit organisations like the International Red Cross (IRC) and Médecins sans Frontières (MSF).
If you are interested in the history of early America, and Roger Conant as a peacemaker in troubled times, you can join the Devon Peacemaker Festival Facebook group at
