Religion
The church of St Mary and St Benedict (Church of England) is part of the benefice of the Hartland Coast Team Ministry. This falls within Hartland Deanery, in the Archdeaconry of Barnstaple. This is in the Diocese of Exeter. The Reverend Wendy Mitchell oversees the whole of the parish.
The church tower is over 500 years old, with a Norman stoup and doorway. There are monuments to, among others, John Taylor, the Loughborough bellfounder, who was born here.
There is also a Methodist chapel in the village.
