Hittisleigh is a small rural parish and village just north-east of Dartmoor in Devon.

Alternatively it may come from the Old English "hithisce" (a family or tenants) and have meant 'tenant's place or pasture'.

Although difficult to date the initial settlement Hittisleigh is mentioned in the Domesday Book.

In the past it has also boasted a school, public house (The Hunters Inn), post office, blacksmith, bakery and Wesleyan Methodist chapel.

According to John Betjeman, "it was restored late and lovingly" and is "an adorable little church".
