Location

Some six miles to the north-west of Okehampton lies Northlew, which John Betjeman described as 'a village, which almost became a town'. It is a village full of character with many examples of traditional rural buildings and superb views to Dartmoor from the lanes surrounding it.

The village clusters around one of the largest open squares in Devon, reflecting its Saxon origins. Close by stands the fifteenth-century church of St Thomas of Canterbury, and the Hebron Methodist Chapel. The Methodist Chapel and St Thomas' Church have regular services and activities, St Thomas' often including the children at the local school. Both the church and chapel have their own rooms used for some of the village activities.
