About Gittisham

Gittisham breathes a quiet charm, a collection of ancient stones gathered under the vast East Devon sky. It lies 3.7 km south-west of Honiton (from Honiton: bearing 231°T, OS grid SY 133 984), and is situated east-north-east of Alfington village. The very air in Gittisham seems to hold a particular luminescence, especially in the late afternoon, when sunlight slants across the honey-coloured stone of its cottages, imbuing them with a warm, almost ethereal glow. Its parish church, St. Michael and All Angels, stands as a stoic sentinel, its Norman origins whispering tales of centuries past, its tower a familiar point against the rolling green of the surrounding countryside. The gentle slope of the land here encourages a contemplative pace, a place where the soft murmur of the occasional breeze through the hedgerows feels like the village's own quiet conversation. Gittisham’s enduring appeal lies not in grand pronouncements, but in the subtle poetry of its existence, a perfectly preserved fragment of rural England.
