Overview and history


The village is the most southerly of six parishes named after the River Clyst.[2] It fell within the Hundred of East Budleigh, and the ecclesiastical Deanery of Aylesbeare.[3] The parish formerly contained Marsh Barton,[2] now the site of an industrial estate within the Exeter City Council area.

The church, with a red sandstone tower, is dedicated to St George. It was completely rebuilt in 1854–59, gutted by fire in an air raid in 1940, and again rebuilt in 1952.[2][4] The Lady Seaward Primary School was endowed by Lady Hannah Seaward in 1705 and rebuilt in 1859. It is described by Pevsner as "unspoilt" and "picturesque".[4] The Old Rectory dates from the 18th century.[4]
