It has an attractive main square surrounded by traditional buildings, some of them thatched; just off the square are a village store, pub, the local primary school and two churches, the Church of England parish church of Saint Thomas Becket and the Methodist church. Northlew benefits from having fiber optic broadband . The village can be found approx. 7 miles northwest of Okehampton and 5 miles west of the ancient town of Hatherleigh. The village is named after the River Lew which runs through the valley and is crossed on entry to the village. The fine Parish Church of St Thomas of Canterbury contains a beautiful carved screen, pews and fascinating roof bosses and dates from the 15th century. Historically, Northlew formed part of Black Torrington Hundred.
