  • The Three in One
    The Three in One December 2020 &January 2021 £1 Salcombe ~ Malborough ~ South Huish 1 CHRISTMAS FLOWERS Despite not knowing if there will be any services in the church over the festive season, WE ARE going to decorate the church with flowers! Even if only a few services take place, there are still people who come in the church on most days for some silent prayer or to light a candle, so we want to make it look Christmassy. Hopefully, some of you on the flower rota will be prepared to arrange a window display, a pedestal or the rails next to the choir stalls. If any of you have any artificial flowers that would be suitable in the church decorations, they would be most welcome. We will, of course, be ordering fresh flowers, but a few artificial ones would be useful. Daniel would like the church to be decorated a bit earlier this year and so we are thinking that Friday, 11 December and Saturday, 12 December would be a good time to start. Although most of the places are well distanced, the flower vestry could become a bit overcrowded, so that is why we are suggesting two days for the arrangements. I have also been asked whether the crosses that go on the pillars could be made up, so if there are any of you who would like to decorate one, please let me know as well as letting me know if you would like to help with the other arrangements. (Some of you have already told me that you would like to help).

Ilbert Road The Ilberts were a local family who during the 19th century had achieved recognition at home and in Britain’s empire. In 1696 the family "came down from the Moors" and acquired Bowringsleigh (near West Alvington), one of the area's ancient estates, previously held by since 1332, by the Bowring family. They later became connected with two other large houses: Horsewell House and Quay House The Ilbert family grew in size, and in importance also - through marriages with, for example, in 1712, the Courtenays of Powderham. By 1772 one branch was living in Horsewell House, South Milton - from where a Mrs Ilbert is recorded as intervening in events following the shipwreck of a vessel called "Chantiloupe", and in 1789, Lt. Colonel Wm Ilbert built Quay House in Kingsbridge. Family members served in the Devon Militia and the army, some sons went into the Church: for example one was Rector of Thurlestone for many years in the 19th century. They served the local community as, for example, High Sheriff of Devon, Chairman of the Board of Guardians, the Magistrates'Court, and committee members of philantrophic associations....One Ilbert served in 1 India as the legal member of the Viceroys's council and on returning to England he became in 1903, clerk to the House of Commons.

  • Visit South Devon Group Travel Itinerary - Ashburton Ashburton Is a Lively Historical Town Nestled on the Southern Side of the Vast Dartmoor National Park
    Visit South Devon Group Travel Itinerary - Ashburton Ashburton is a lively historical town nestled on the southern side of the vast Dartmoor National Park. The highstreet is home to many galleries, book shops, a variety of eateries and lots of great antique shops making it the perfect place to while away a few hours. Things to see and do for groups in Ashburton Due to its location Ashburton is an ideal base for visitors interested in walking, canoeing, pony trekking and fishing. Its wonderful position on the edge of the moors also means that no trip to Ashburton would be complete without a trip to Dartmoor National Park where you can explore the diverse landscapes in this stunning area. History in Ashburton Ashburton's unique history is believed to have begun in Saxon times. Finds unearthed in the area date back as far as 3000BC, but there is no evidence of a settlement until 500BC. Its location was most likely chosen for its presence of tin which has shaped the towns history ever since. It was an important centre for the tin trade during the middle ages and in 1305 became one of the four official stannary towns which had special powers to assay the tin produced from the Dartmoor mines. Its importance as the main stannary town peaked in 1515 when nearly 40% of Devon's tin was sold through Ashburton. When the local tin, iron and woollen trades declined in the 17th Century, Ashburton made a living from passing trade on the main road from Exeter to Plymouth and many of the buildings you see today date from this period.
