Trusham

Trusham is a small village and civil parish in the Teign Valley, between Newton Abbot and Exeter, in the Teignbridge district, in the county of Devon, England. The settlement was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Trisma, which is hypothesised to be a compound of the south-western Brythonic words trev and isam meaning lower homestead. It was recorded as Trusham al. Trisme in the Recovery Rolls of 1630, with sources after this referring to it as Trusham only. In 2021 it had a population of 209.

A pub, the Cridford Inn, was opened in 1985 by converting part of an old farmhouse and adjoining barn. The Church of St Michael is an ancient stone building in the early English and Perpendicular styles with traces of Norman work. The church was thoroughly restored in 1865, when the stained east window and a smaller one were inserted as memorials to the Rev. William Edward Brendon, who died in 1864. There is also a memorial to John Stooke which mentions a charity he set up for the church and the poor of nearby Bovey Tracey.
