The village of Sticklepath, located with the north east corner of Dartmoor National Park, has been in existence since at least the 11th century. During the 17th century the Quaker movement became prominent in the village, and it seen in the burial ground behind the national trust property of Finches Foundary. This was superseded by the advent of Methodism in the 18th century. Opposite the village hall there is a Methodist chapel, build in 1816, which is currently undergoing the transformation into a dwelling at the time of this cache's publication. The village hall itself was built in the beginning of the 19th century by Ellen Thompson. She was the daughter of Thomas Pearse, who turned Cleave Mill into a flourishing woollen mill in 1810. The road that the village hall is situated on used to be the old A30, which brought much traffic through the village until the modern day A30 was built in the 1970's.
