Churchstow Devon
Old historic Inn believed to date from the 13c, aptly named the Church House, which like the church, once belonged to the Benedictine monks of Buckfast Abbey
Originally a rest house for the monks and later used to house masons rebuilding the late 14c / 15c church opposite
It was later the original parish hall, an eating place, ale house for the legal consumption of ale brewed by the church wardens, somewhere to go to get warm before or after a church service, and a place to hold religious feasts.

Opposite , as with many churches, is an old historic 17c Inn aptly named the Church House, which like the church, once belonged to Buckfast Abbey, and was
the original parish hall, an eating place, ale house for the legal consumption of ale brewed by the churchwardens, somewhere to go to get warm before or after a church service, and a place to hold religious feasts, 


The village has one public house, the Church House Inn. Built in the 17th century, the building is made from green slate. It is a distributor of beverages from the St Austell Brewery and is a recognised Cask Marque public house.[2]]]
