Summary

| Description |
English: Church House, Abbotskerswell A restored sixteenth-century building in the heart of the village; note the arched lights in the wooded window-frames https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1097318 . The Church house is an important feature in Devon's villages - some 50 or 60 still exist. They were an early form of village hall, dating from the Reformation, often close to the churchyard (this one is some 70 metres away, but thereby links the church to the village centre). Many have become become pubs.
The village, with extensive housing estates for commuters to the nearby towns, has a pretty core, as exemplified by the thatched cottages on the main street. Building work is taking place on the right. |
