Sutcombe

Sutcombe is a village and civil parish in the local government district of Torridge, Devon, England. The parish, which lies about 5.5 miles north of the town of Holsworthy, is surrounded clockwise from the north by the parishes of West Putford, Abbots Bickington, Milton Damerel, Holsworthy Hamlets and Bradworthy. In 2001 its population was 299, compared to 351 in 1901.

The parish church in the village is dedicated to Saint Andrew. Although it has a 12th-century south doorway it mostly dates from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, having some ornate 16th-century bench ends and late medieval floor-tiles from Barnstaple. It was restored by Bodley & Garner in 1876.

Thuborough in the south of the parish is now a farmhouse, but it was an estate mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. From about 1500 it belonged to the Prideaux family and was their mansion through the 16th and 17th centuries. The house retains details from this period.
