*************

Holne is a village and civil parish on the southeastern slopes of Dartmoor in Devon, England. A community has existed here since at least the 11th century, and today a population of around 250 people is served by a church and a public house, the Church House Inn.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin was built circa 1300, and was enlarged early in the 16th century.^[1] Around this time a carved and painted rood screen was installed, together with a matching pulpit of unusual design.^[2] A hollow yew tree in the churchyard was thought to have been planted around 1300.^{[citation needed]} Nearby is a prominent cross, with an octagonal cross section, which marks the grave of the Rev. John Gill, who was vicar of Holne from 1858 to 1917—his 90th year.^{[citation needed]}

The novelist and clergyman Charles Kingsley was born in the vicarage while his father was curate-in-charge here for a few months.^[1]

The eastern and northern boundaries of the parish are formed by the River Dart. To the west it is bordered by the parish of Dartmoor Forest, the boundary partly following the O Brook. It meets the northernmost point of Buckfastleigh parish at Petre's Bound Stone on Ryder's Hill, one of the highest points on southern Dartmoor. From here the boundary runs back east to the River Dart.^[3]

Holne Chase Castle is a well-preserved Iron Age hill fort on the top of Holne Chase,^[2] which is an area of steep woodland in the loop of the River Dart between two medieval bridges: Holne Bridge and New Bridge.^[3] In the north of the parish, the farmstead of Stoke was a Domesday manor.^[1]
