St Mary's Church in North Huish, Devon, England was built in the 14th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, [1] and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. [2] It was declared redundant on 1 March 1993, and was vested in the Trust on 10 August 1998. [3]

Although some parts of the church are 14th century, [2] the south aisle is 15th century. A rector was recorded in 1308 and the reconstruction of the church was dedicated in 1336 by Bishop John Grandisson. [1] The building also underwent extensive renovation in the 19th century. [2]

The 2 stage west tower has buttresses on each corner. The ringing stage is reached by a polygonal stair turret on the north side. The tower is surmounted by an octagonal recessed spire. [1]

The interior includes early screens and the moulded octagonal granite font is dated 1662, [1] but the rest of the furnishings, polygonal wooden pulpit and wall tablets are Victorian. [2]
