Huxham is a hamlet and civil parish in the county of Devon, England and the district of East Devon and lies about 3 miles from Exeter.[1] The parish has an area of about 800 acres[2] and is surrounded, clockwise from the north, by Rewe, Poltimore, Exeter and Stoke Canon.[3] It is too small to have a parish council and instead has a parish meeting.[4] It was formerly part of the Wonford Hundred and gave its name to a family who possessed the manor from the reign of Henry II to that of Edward III. The manor was then held by the Bampfylde family of Poltimore.[1]
Church
[edit | edit source]The church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.[5] It was built in the early 14th century and rebuilt in 1865–71. It has a Norman font[6] and the screen may be very early in date.[7]
