Next to the churchyard is Church House built in 1537 as a brew house for the production of church ales. Church House is now managed by the National Trust. The building having been a brew house later became almshouses, a school and a workhouse, before becoming the village school again in 1875. It is now the village hall and is used regularly for village events. The old Sexton's cottage is also part of the complex, currently being utilised as a National Trust and Dartmoor National Park Information Centre and shop
