Tim Sills helped Torquay cut Aldershot's lead at the top of the Blue Square Premier to three points with the only goal against Histon at Plainmoor. Sills struck an overhead kick from 12 yards with 14 minutes left to claim his 14th goal of the season.
Histon keeper Danny Naisbitt then saved well to keep out a Chris Hargreaves header and Steve Adams' volley.
Torquay had the better of the chances in the first half too with Hargreaves and Chris Todd both denied goals.
