Hittisleigh is a small rural parish and village just north-east of Dartmoor in Devon. Once part of the ancient district of the Wonford Hundred, it is now administered by Mid Devon District Council and part of the Central Devon constituency. The name Hittisleigh may be derived from Hyttin's leah (from the Old English for wood/clearing). Alternatively it may come from the Old English "hithisce" (a family or tenants) and have meant 'tenant's place or pasture'. Although difficult to date the initial settlement Hittisleigh is mentioned in the Domesday Book.[1] Hittisleigh is known as the birthplace of Samuel Bellamy the eighteenth century pirate.
It has a church, Church of St Andrew, Hittisleigh, village hall, several farms and a public telephone box. In the past it has also boasted a school, public house (The Hunters Inn), post office, blacksmith, bakery and Wesleyan Methodist chapel. These have all since closed with the buildings often becoming residential. The church has a nave and chancel of the 14th century and a 15th century aisle built of granite. According to John Betjeman "it was restored late and lovingly" and is "an adorable little church".[2]
The village is served by a bus from Whiddon Down to Crediton on a Tuesday (it returns if required by passengers on the bus).[3]

I Won't Let You Go
by: HedleyLong steady road, oh travel be kind.
I'm searching for some peace of mind.
The home that you know,
a home left behind.
Oh trouble don't trouble this time.
And baby don't look back, odds don't stack,
they just crumble down, around you.
You gotta go away if you wanna come back.
I won't crack, I can't make a sound without you.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it don't stop raining darling, I won't let you go.
And even if the world is burning darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
Know your way down, your music, your town,
You're never walking alone.
A storm that won't wait, a heart that won't break.
Your mountains ain't made out of stone
And baby don't look back, odds don't stack,
they just crumble down, around you.
You gotta go away if you wanna come back.
I won't crack, I can't make a sound without you.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it don't stop raining darling, I won't let you go.
And even if the world is burning darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
So baby don't look back, odds don't stack,
They just crumble down, around you.
You gotta go away if you wanna come back.
I won't crack, I can't make a sound without you.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it don't stop raining darling, I won't let you go.
And even if the world is burning darling, I won't let you go.
And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
No I can't no I never will never ever would,
No I never could let you go,
No I just can't no I never will never ever would,
No I never could let you go.
No I just can't no I never will never ever would,
No I never could let you go.
No I just can't no I never will never ever would,
