Cadeleigh is a small village in the county of DevoninEngland. It sits in the hills above the valley of the River Exe and is about 15 km (9 miles) north of Exeter and 6 km (4 miles) southwest of Tiverton.
The village has a church that is dedicated to St. Bartholomew and dates from the early part of the 15th century,[1] although this is probably a rebuilding of a much older 12th-century church.[2] It contains the monument of Sir Simon Leach (1567-1638), Sheriff of Devon in 1624,[3] the largest of its type in any Devon parish church.[4]
There is a single public house in Cadeleigh, which is called the Cadeleigh Arms.
Between 1885 and 1963 Cadeleigh also had a railway station, although it was actually located much closer to the nearby village of Bickleigh (in fact, the railway station was named "Cadeleigh and Bickleigh" before 1906).
