A stone-spired landmark

This beautiful 15th-century, stone-spired church is a landmark in a fold in the hills just below Dartmoor and it has wonderful views to the south.

St Mary's is mainly of the 15th century and the tower and stone spire remain largely unaltered, but inside, the furnishings are mostly Victorian, as are the memorials that line the church walls including one to the widow 'Admonition Strode’.

    I visited this delightful church some while ago because my great grandfather was baptised in the 1660 font here. It was good to know that a piece of my family heritage survives. My g.great grandparents Nicholas Scobell and Joanna wyatt were baptised here but were married in nearby Ugborough Church. They now lie buried in the churchyard at Ugborough.
    The church spire is a significant landmark and can be spotted from Ugborough Moor, Dartmoor, north of the church. Be careful because it is easy to confuse it with Diptford Church spire. The latter stands out because of its white finish whereas Huish is a less conspicuous brown. Locally Huish is pronounced 'Oosch'

Keyholder

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.

Disabled access

Unfortunately, disabled access here is poor due to a number of steps.

Facilities

Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
