13th Century church dedicated to the French saint St Denis although no-one seems to know why. Dating from the Norman period, it has a forty-foot tower which was rebuilt in 1792. But sadly, although the church has a Norman foundation it had a major restoration in 1889/1890 (Victorian era) and very little remains of the original structure apart from the columns that hold up the roof, and the three fonts, two of which are damaged. The roof has a Green Man where the Nave joins the Chancel, also part of the original screen (which was removed in Victorian era) is on display above the War Memorial on the North wall. The bells in the tower has recently been restored and have been increased to six bells.

The church is now part of the Stratton Deanery, 23 churches across 18 parishes.

Otterham (Prasdowrgi in Cornish) is situated in the north east of Cornwall at the head of the river Ottery. The Parish Church is in Otterham Churchtown, a very small hamlet, which can be accessed easily from the Atlantic Highway.
