There are two churches in the parish, All Saints, Highweek - the Parish Church and St Mary the Virgin, Abbotsbury near the town centre.

Newton Abbot has historically had two parishes, Highweek and Wolborough to the north and south respectively of the river Lemon.

Nothing but the church and farm remains of the original Wolborough Community although there is one sign in the town to "Wolborough" which points towards Wolborough Hill.

Highweek on the other hand has an extensive village community set on the top of the hill overlooking the new town. All Saints Church is a short walk along the ridge from the village crossroads.
