Further down the road on the right is the Lych Gate, the entrance to All Saints Church. The gate has been restored using a donation by V.I. Bird. The houses 'Pebbles' and 'Iona' stand on the site of the old Whipton School of 1871. The school was closed when Whipton First School was opened in 1938. The old school was used for sunday schools and meetings but was finally demolished in 1969. Whipton Barton Middle School was opened in 1956, Beacon Heath First School in 1957 and Summerway Middle School in 1950 to cater for Whipton's ever increasing population.

On your left is the Village Inn, pop in here for a swift pint. This building has not changed externally for years, although internally things have fairly recently changed with the addition of a restaurant and the re-naming of the pub (2005) from The Whipton Inn. During the 1920's, the licencees were the Crews family, the grandparents of R. Cowley, a local builder. Cowley and Jack Packer were responsible for most of the building in Whipton from the 1920's. 

All Saints Church opposite the Pub was built in 1861 as a chapelry to Heavitree and was consecrated in 1862. The walls are of Heavitree stone with Killerton and Bath Stone dressings. 

Whipton was a hamlet of Heavitree and in the hundred of Wonford, and originally got its name from a Saxon landowner called Wippa who owned Wippa's Farm. Following Exeter's conquest by the Norman's in 1068, 'Wipletona', went to William Capra who also held 40 other manors in Devon plus others in Somerset. The tax or geld due on Wipletona was one hide. A hide represented an amount of land that could be dealt with using one plough.
Exit the Whipton Inn and head off for your final Pub which is Micawbers, further down the road on the left. This pub is in the centre of Whipton Village so from here you could pop out and see the rest of the village or you could just get shitfaced. Micawber decorates the bar and the Pub sign. As you know he was the likeable fraud out of Dicken's David Copperfield who was 'always expecting something to turn up'.

Micawbers was once an old coaching house called the Star, serving the Bristol to Exeter run, it was also known as the Half Moon Inn prior to 1995. The Half Moon Inn was thatched until 1895 when a fire destroyed most of the outbuildings and the Inn itself. This very same fire also put paid to three cottages over the road. The Wesleyan Methodists were using the outbuildings for meetings at around about this time.
September 1964 saw major demolition work on Half Moon corner with numbers 70 and 72 Whipton Village Road Removed. This space is now taken up by a larger corner and the pubs beer garden.
