Domesday Book. It has a church dating back to the 14th century and the ruins of a manor house of similar date.

This ward had a population of 5,679 at the 2011 census.
It was situated on a busy main road, part of the A380, between Torquay and Newton Abbot until the opening of the South Devon Highway in December 2015. There had been proposals to reroute this road to relieve the traffic bottleneck since 1951.
