In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described South Huish like this:
HUISH (SOUTH), a parish in Kingsbridge district, Devon; on the coast, 3¾ miles SW of Kingsbridge, and 12 S of Kingsbridge Road r. station. It includes the hamlets of Glampton, Silverhill, and Hope Cove; and its post town is Kingsbridge. Acres, 1, 150; of which 100 are water. Real property, with Malborough, £10, 705. Rated property of S. H. alone, £1, 501. Pop., 346. Houses, 79. The property is divided among a few. The manor belongs to the Earl of Devon. An old castle, of which some remains exist...
, stood on the rocks near the sea, and is traditionally said to have been assailed by the parliamentarians in the civil war. The parish is a meet for the Malborough hounds. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of West Alvington, in the diocese of Exeter. The church is ancient, but good; and comprises nave, S aisle, N transept, and chancel. There is a chapel for Plymouth Brethren at Glampton.
