Across the valley.

This is Highweek church seen from my office window.
In 1427 the parishioners had built a chapel at Highweek, but they had to carry their dead about three miles to the parish church in Kingsteignton. They petitioned Pope Martin V for their own graveyard because "the tides and rivers, and the mud of winter and the intense heat of summer" made the journey "both troublesome and dangerous to accomplish".
The pope granted permission in a bull dated 14 May 1427, and the church and its churchyard were consecrated.

Today, the church is a Church of England place of worship in the Diocese of Exeter, known as Highweek Parish.
It is a Grade I listed building.The church sits on a steep sided hill at the end of ridge which runs the length of the village, and is clearly visible for miles around facing St Mary's Wolborough Church on the opposite side of Newton Abbot. The battlemented tower on the west end of the nave carries a flag pole and a lit star at Christmas, which can be seen from Newton Abbot town centre.
