Cadeleigh is a small village in Devon, sitting in the hills above the valley of the River Exe about nine miles north of Exeter four miles southwest of Tiverton.
Parish church
The village has a parish church, dedicated to St Bartholomew which dates from the early part of the 15th century,[1] although this is probably a rebuilding of a much older 12th-century church.[2] It contains the monument of Sir Simon Leach (1567-1638), Sheriff of Devon in 1624,[3] the largest of its type in any Devon parish church.[4]
About the village
There is a single public house in Cadeleigh, which is called the Cadeleigh Arms.
Between 1885 and 1963 Cadeleigh also had a railway station, although it was actually located much closer to the nearby village of Bickleigh. The railway station was named 'Cadeleigh and Bickleigh' before 1906, then 'Cadleigh' thereafter until the line closed in 1963. The station is now the Devon Railway Centre.
