In 1219 Kingsbridge was owned by the Abbot of Buckfast who needed an outlet where the monks could sell their produce: honey, beeswax, candles, soap and mead. So the Abbot petitioned the Crown for permission to hold a market at Kingsbridge and a Royal Charter was granted. As a Market Town, Kingsbridge has thrived through its independent businesses, often family-run for generations and relying upon the local community's support. A small chapel existed on the site of St. Edmund's Church in the 13th century but the burial ground was at Churchstow, a village two miles to the west. In 1309 the parishioners petitioned the Bishop and complained of the difficulty of carrying their dead "up the mountain" to Churchstow for burial. However it was more than 100 years before permission was granted "to the Abbot and monks of Buckfast to build a church in honour of the blessed Edmund, King and Martyr in their demesne and the vill which is called Kingsbrigg". In 1798 the town mills were converted into a woollen manufactory, which produced large quantities of cloth. During the 19th century the town had an active coastal shipping trade, shipbuilding, a tannery and a large monthly cattle market. The chief exports were cider, corn, malt and slate.

Lovely village with an Inn, a B&B, an ancient church, a letter box and a defi :-). And nice and friendly people of course, I enjoyed being here.

Church of the 13th century (first sources might even indicate 12th), worth a visit. Grade I* listed building. Smashing: wood works of the 15th century inside, mostly still in original conditions - really impressive!

Great reputation (2023) for lovely food, you would not expect such a place in a remote village. Recommended to reserve a table if you want to be on the save side (not kidding). For more see: https://millbrookinnsouthpool.co.uk

Along the South Pool creek there are several benches to sit and just enjoy the relaxed scenery.

St Michael and All Angels church is a grade 1 listed building. It was first built in 1431, rebuilding on the site of a previous church. The current church was then restored in 1874 and 1890.
