Documentary evidence relates that on 24th November 1542 the Abbot of Sherbourne gave to "our parish Church of Kerswell Abbot" a parcel of land on which is built the church house. Despite the C20 restoration, this church house remains virtually unaltered in form, preserving some good quality internal features, with more possibly concealed, and is a good example of its kind occupying a very prominent position in the village centre".

Church House, Abbotskerswell
A restored sixteenth-century building in the heart of the village; note the arched lights in the wooded window-frames https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1097318?section=official-listing . The Church house is an important feature in Devon's villages - some 50 or 60 still exist. They were an early form of village hall, dating from the Reformation, often close to the churchyard (this one is some 70 metres away, but thereby links the church to the village centre). Many have become pubs.
The village, with extensive housing estates for commuters to the nearby towns, has a pretty core, as exemplified by the thatched cottages on the main street. Town Farmhouse, in the background, is described at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1097317?section=official-listing . Building work is taking place on the right.
