BISHOPS TEIGNTON is a village and parish in Newton Abbot union, containing, by the census of 1861, 974 inhabitants, and 4741 acres; in the deanery of Kenn, archdeaconry and diocese of Exeter, hundred of Exminster, East Devonshire; 2 miles west from Teignmouth, 4 east from Newton Abbot, 12 south from Exeter, and 184 from London, on the north bank of the river Teign, commanding splendid views of the harbour and estuary. It was formerly a demesne of the see of Exeter, hence its name, and remains of an ancient palace are in existence, which was built by Bishop Grandisson, who principally erected Exeter Cathedral. In a letter letter from that prelate to Pope John XXII., about the year 1322, he describes this palace as a " beautiful structure." The vicarage, in the patronage and incumbency of the Rev. William Reynolds Ogle, M.A., had the tithes commuted, in 1842, at £217 per annum, and has residence and eight acres of glebe land. The rectorial tithes were also commuted at £499 per annum. The church is an ancient edifice, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, in the Norman style, nearly covered with ivy, consisting of nave, north aisle, chancel, and tower; the western doorway is a fine specimen of Norman architecture. The Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists have places of worship here, and there is a National School for children of both sexes, which has an endowment of about £25 per annum. The Rev. John Comyns is lord of the manor, and he and James George James Templer, Esq., are the chief landowners.
LUTON is a hamlet of this parish, about 2 1\2 miles north-east from thence, which has lately been formed into a separate ecclesiastical district. The vicarage, in the incumbency of the Rev. Arthur William Shepperd, is valued at £65 per annum, and is in the patronage of the vicar of Bishops Teignton. The church is a neat edifice, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, and like Bishops Teignton almost covered with ivy. There is a National School for children of both sexes, with residence for the master. Lord Clifford is lord of the manor.
COOMBE and ASHWELL are also hamlets of this parish.
