ZEAL MONACHORUM is a parish and village situated some 8 miles north-west from Crediton. Approximately 500 ft above sea level the village is sited on a south facing slope. It comprises many old properties of character (several of the thatched houses and cottages being subject to preservation orders). The name of the village is derived from the Latin 'Cella Monachorum' (the cell of the Monks), and part of the parish church which is the third building to stand on the present site was a cell of the Benedictine Abbey from Buckfast from 1016 when Canute bestowed on the Abbot the Manor of Zeal Monachorum. There is the Waie Inn which offers facilities including swimming pool, squash courts and snooker room etc. The village is in a peaceful setting, well away from any main roads.
