East Anstey
East Anstey is a village and civil parish in the North Devon district of Devon, England. The parish is located in an area which has been designated as an area of 'Great Landscape Value'.[1] The village falls within the South Molton Deanery for ecclesiastical purposes.[2] The village has a Grade II listed church, the Church of St Michael, which has a 15th-century tower and south porch but which was largely rebuilt in 1871.[3]
The name 'Anstey' is derived from the Old English word ‘an-stiga’ meaning ‘a hill pathway for one’.[4] East Anstey had a station on the old GWR Taunton - Barnstaple Victoria Road which closed in 1966. The station is now a private residence.
