Huntsham is part of the Diocese of Exeter, and is served by All Saints church,[4] which was restored by Benjamin Ferrey. Near to the church is the former manor house, Huntsham Court, which was built by Ferrey in 1868–70 and is now a Grade II* listed building.[5] Many of the buildings in Huntsham village were built to service the house at the turn of the 20th century.[citation needed]
