During the period of the Saxons, the natural forests of Devon are gradually cleared and most of the villages and settlements we take for granted in the countryside are established. 905 Bishop Putta is murdered – some say at the spot where Copplestone cross stands. 909 Diocese of Crediton created. 934-53 Bishop Ethelgar collects funds for the building of St Mary’s Minster at Crediton. 974 Copplestone Cross, at the junction of Down St Mary with two other parishes until 1992, is mentioned in a charter, but is much older than that. It is early Celtic interlaced work such as is not found elsewhere in England except in Northumbria. The cross gives a name to a once noted Devon family which comes in the local rhyme: Crocker, Cruwys, and Coplestone, When the Conqueror came were found at home. Eleventh Century 1018 Buckfast Abbey is founded under the patronage of King Canute. 1040 The Manor of Down(e) named after the Saxon settlement DUN meaning Hill, first recorded as being the gift of King Harthacnut.

  • 1967 – Sir Francis Chichester's World Voyage
    SPECIAL STAMP HISTORY Sir Francis Chichester’s World Voyage Date of issue: 24 JULY 1967 On 27 August 1966 Francis Chichester left Plymouth in the 53-foot ketch ‘Gipsy Moth IV’ to sail around the world single-handed. After an outward journey of 107 days via the Cape of Good Hope he reached Sydney, Australia, on 12 December, greeted by cheering crowds and whistling ferries. His departure for the return leg around Cape Horn seven weeks later was even livelier, yachts, launches, dinghies, tugs and boats of every description having gathered to see him on his way, with surfboarders, three boatloads of armed police, at least one bagpiper, and (to quote ‘The Times’) ‘lithe girls in bikinis’. Two days previously, on 27 January 1967, he had been knighted for his record of achievement in the navigation and handling of small craft - he had already made several solo Atlantic crossings, been named Yachtsman of the Year in 1960, and awarded the CBE in 1964. By May 1967 he was once more approaching British waters amid growing public excitement. Edward Short, the Postmaster General (PMG), had stated that there would be no additions to the 1967 stamp programme already announced; however on 15 May he contacted the Director of Postal Services, G R Downes, to investigate whether a suitable design for a single stamp might be ready by the time of Sir Francis’ return, which it was thought would be about 26 or 27 May. It was suggested that David Gentleman might be able to produce something in the time, in ‘the grand Sir Francis Drake manner’, by which the PMG meant a fully pictorial and dramatic depiction of the occasion.

Rescued in 2004 from 37 years out of her element, and rebuilt and restored in 2005 by her original builders - among the last wooden boat works performed by Camper & Nicholsons - GIPSY MOTH IV has subsequently circumnavigated again. For the trust that has owned her since 2010 it is now time to pass on this iconic and beautiful yacht to a similar body or individual to spread or be inspired by Chichester’s spirit of challenge and adventure. • SANDEM AN YACHT COMPANY • • Brokerage Of Classic & Vintage Yachts • www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk © Sandeman Yacht Company Limited 2021.
