Churches in Hittisleigh Parish

St Andrew

Hittisleigh Exeter
(01647) 432265

St Andrew's is a friendly, welcoming church and has been at the heart of this small rural community for over 750 years.

The building is open daily and according to the late John Betjeman "was restored late and lovingly" and is "an adorable little church". We belong to a family of Anglican churches here in West Devon called The North Dartmoor Parishes, which stretches from Hittisleigh to Chagford to Lustleigh For Jesus there are no 'outsiders'; the same is true for us.

We look forward to welcoming you to St Andrew's for worship or just to look around and pray that you might know God's blessing in this place of peace and beauty.

A number of friends have celebrated the most important day of their lives here. If you're interested in getting married at St Andrew's, contact Liz Watrous, our Wedding Co-Ordinator, on [email protected].

As well as being open every day of the year, weekly worship is available every Sunday online; just look for the Youtube channel 'Chagford Church Online' for the North Dartmoor Parishes www.youtube.com
