Torbryan is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Denbury and Torbryan, in the Teignbridge district, in the county of Devon, England. It is located approximately one mile to the west of Ipplepen.
== History == In the Domesday Book (1086) it was listed simply as "Torre", from Old English torr meaning hill. The manor came to be held for over 250 years by the de Brianne or Brionne (Bryan/Brian) family, who probably originated in Brionne in Normandy. The manor is first recorded as Torre Briane in 1238. In 1242 it was held by Sir Wydo [Guy] de Brianne or Brionne. On 25 March 1885 the parish of Denbury was merged with Torbryan. On 1 April 1998, the new parish was renamed to "Denbury & Torbryan". In 1881 the civil parish of Torbryan (prior to the merge) had a population of 203.
