History

The mascot of Stokeinteignhead, appearing on the village signs, is the cirl bunting.

Despite its closeness to the river Teign, the name Stokeinteignhead is not derived from it: in the Domesday Book the district contained thirteen manors which totalled an area of ten hides and the whole area was known as the "Ten Hide". This was later corrupted to Teignhead through the influence of the river name. The name of the nearby village of Combeinteignhead has a similar derivation.[4]

Most of the village forms a conservation area and it includes the following listed buildings:

Cottages at Teignharvey and Teign estuary

This hamlet to the north-west contains a cluster of cottages. Its oldest is Little Harvey, from where the village takes its name, and this (the only important or ancient building) dates to the Tudor period in the early 16th century[51] . The road here leads in and out of the parish only, sloping down westwards to the brook boundary on Arch Brook Hill, leading to the Coombe Cellars public house promontery, all of which road overlooks Teignmouth. A track leads south for 2 miles (3.2 km) to Stokeinteignmouth and there is access down the cliffs to a boathouse and to the wide and expansive Teign estuary which is a short, moor-fed, blue stretch of water with a mixture of a muddy and sandy shoreline.

Amenities

Stokeinteignhead Village Hall was demolished in 2005 with a plan to re-build it at the same location; it is now in a former part of the school field and construction began in 2006 and was completed some months later. The village church, dating from the 14th century and enlarged in the 15th, is dedicated to Saint Andrew. Its high altar was dedicated by Bishop Grandisson in 1336.[52] Its rood screen is one of the oldest in Devon and believed to be 14th century and earliest brass to a priest engraved 1375 in the county.[52] The church underwent major restoration in 1894 having instructed architects Tait and Harvey.[5]

Education

Education is provided by Stokeinteignhead Primary School and the nearby pre-school.
