Luton is a village in Devon, England, within Teignbridge local authority area. Historically Luton formed part of Ashcombe Hundred.[1]
The village is in the parish of Bishopsteignton, but has a chapel of ease, dedicated to St John the Evangelist, built in the 19th century. The village is within Kenn Deanery for ecclesiastical purposes.
The chapel is a Grade II listed building,[2] as are the lych gate[3] and a tomb in the churchyard.[4] Other listed buildings in the village include the Old Mill, a former watermill inoperative since the 1880s and now a private house,[5] and Ivy Cottage, a 17th- or 18th-century thatched cottage.[6]
The village contains a public house, the Elizabethan Inn.[7]
