Lydford Settlement Profile r Lydford September 2019 This settlement profile has been prepared by Dartmoor National Park Authority to provide an overview of key information and issues for the settlement. It has been prepared in consultation with Parish/Town Councils and will be updated as necessary. Settlement Profile: Lydford 1 Introduction While set against a village history which is of great significance, the buildings of Lydford are, by and large, late, unremarkable and modest, both in size and architecture. What is remarkable about Lydford is its relative lack of modern development and therefore the preservation of its historic form.

  • Higher Uppacott, Medieval Transhumance and the Dartmoor
    Higher Uppacott, Medieval Transhumance and the Dartmoor Longhouse The paper explored the reasons for the survival of medieval longhouses in great num- bers on the eastern fringes of Dartmoor. It made great use of Harold Fox’s recently pub- lished research into the medieval development of Dartmoor under royal control and the evidence of transhumance, that is to say the movement of lowland cattle onto the high moor during the summer months. (Dartmoor’s Alluring Uplands: Transhumance and Pastoral Man- agement in the Middle Ages, Harold Fox, published in 2012 by the University of Exeter Press.) He explains how everyone in Devon had the right to pasture their stock on Dartmoor and how the crown sought to control this and make money from it. There were gates which were to be opened on a certain date which had been announced publicly in the major mar- ket towns of the county; how the ancient tenements were established on the moor with free pasturage rights but the obligation that the tenant present himself on horseback for the drifts (when the cattle were counted and appropriate charges levied), how the surrounding parishes had venville rights which meant that they paid a small sum for pasturage Figure 1: Dartmoor Longhouse: Higher Uppacott, Poundsgate, WITM rights but also could, like the tenants of the Ancient Tenements, charge lowlanders to look after their stock, how droveways can be identified throughout Devon and so on. Fox envis- ages a red sea of cattle ebbing and flowing to and from the high moor. He also explains the math’s describing a virtuous circle where all involved made money from this controlled transhumance.

It has been prepared in consultation with SettlementParish/Town Profile: Councils Drewsteignton and will be updated as necessary. 1 Introduction Drewsteignton, located in the northeast part of the National Park, is set in an elevated position, north of the River Teign. Lying outside the granite mass of the high moor, the area has a complex geology; the working of limestone and metalliferous minerals played an important role in the development of the village. Originally a service centre for the surrounding agricultural community, that role has now declined. Below the village, on the River Teign, lies the popular beauty spot of Fingle Bridge. Castle Drogo, another busy tourist attraction, lies to the south-west of the village.
