History

The parish history of the St Germans area is complex and has been subject to much change. Two ecclesiastical parishes (Hessenford and Tideford) were created in the 19th century. Deviock civil parish was created as recently as April 1997 from part of the former St Germans Parish; it also includes parts of St Martin-by-Looe and part of Morval.

From 2013 to the 2021 local elections, Deviock was covered by the Trelawny division. From 2021, it will be in the Looe East and Deviock division. Deviock civil parish has three electoral wards:

Hessenford (139 electors)

Community

There are two Anglican churches in the parish, St Nicolas at Downderry and St Anne's Church, Hessenford (which also has a church hall where the parish council meets). There is a primary school in the parish and two post offices.
