This church is on the site of an old thatched chapel which dated from 1146 and was possibly the oldest Chantry in the diocese. Baring Gould's Book of Dartmoor where he states 'At Sticklepath was a curious old cob thatched chapel, but this was unnecessarily destroyed and a modern erection of no interest or beauty has taken its place'. This is referring to the current church of St Mary which was built in 1875.
