  • BIRCH ALLER MINE to the West of Bridford Consols, at Birch
    BIRCH ALLER MINE To the West of Bridford Consols, at Birch Aller , another well-financed attempt to find the northern end of the Valley’s ‘great lead lode’ drove down over 300 ft ( taking it nearly below sea level ) but this investment also failed to prove exploitable quantities of lead or silver. In contrast to the later well-documented activities at Bridford Barytes, there are few references to trace the history of Birch Aller. Even its name is uncertain, being variously described as ‘Birch Aller’, ‘Birch Ellers’ or simply ‘Birch’. All variations however must be drawn from the dense growth of Birch and Alder trees that thrive along the small stream below the mine. No original records of the venture are known to exist, nor have any plans of the underground workings survived. In consequence, what little is known of its short-lived operations is largely derived from brief contemporary reports in t he Mining Journal and from notes compiled by Col.Ramsden, manager, from 1927, of the neighbouring Bridford Barytes Mine, supplemented by what can be inferred from the remains of the engine house and stack, the location of the spoil tips and a final ‘obituary’ notice in the Exeter Flying Post. Reports from the Mining Journal suggst that operations commenced at Birch Aller during 1850 and a notice of sale in the Exeter Flying Post on 1st June 1855 recorded its closure. A definitive work by H G Dines, a geologist working for the Institute of Geological Sciences on Metalliferous Mining in the South West of England, supplemented by a study of The Teign Valley Silver Lead Mines by C J Schmitz agree the probable layout of the workings.

  • January to March 2018
    This issue's cover ‘A winter glow, after the blow, with sun setting in the snow’ was photographed and produced by Mo Bowman Happy New Year from the Editor Blue Planet II has been a remarkable series highlighting what extraordinary creatures and plants live in our oceans. Sadly, the programme has also shown what damage mankind is doing to his environment. There are many projects and groups attempting to do their bit to remedy this – the Great Nurdle Hunt in Scotland (nurdlehunt.co.uk) the worldwide Litter Project (litterproject.com) and the Anglo-French initiative encouraging us all to pick up one piece of rubbish each per day (1pieceofrubbish.com). Why not? If we all did so when we are out on our walks what a difference that could make. Here in East Devon there are regular beach cleans and our annual Otter Estuary Litter Pick. Every Spring the numerous bags of rubbish collected in just 2 hours from this small area show how careless and/or ignorant we are about our environment. So, if you would like to help keep the oceans clean for the next generation dig out your wellies and join us on 31st March. Jacqui Baldwin **************************************************** Annual Spring Litter-Pick: Saturday, 31st March 2018 at 10am As always, we run this event in co-operation with East Devon District Council and Clinton Devon Estates and the aim is to clear all litter from the Otter estuary below White Bridge by 12 noon. We assemble at the Lime Kiln Car Park in Budleigh Salterton at 10am for a briefing and free parking tickets will be distributed along with plastic bags and tongs.

  • Devon Protestation Oaths
    Mortimers of Devon in the 1642 Protestation Oath Lists Research suggests that the Mortimers first settled in Devon in the 15th century or earlier. By 1523, the name had spread to 16 parishes and just 20 years later that number had grown to 19. By 1600, several branches of the Mortimer family had established themselves in Exeter, Devon’s capital. Over the following centuries Mortimers continued to move to Exeter. By the time of the first census in 1841, 87 Mortimers lived in Devon’s capital, out of 866 Mortimers who called Devon their home, more than any other county except Yorkshire. This document is intended to be a useful resource for genealogists but also Mortimer one name researchers. The history of the Devon Mortimer family is of interest due to their inheritance of a medieval name of great note during the middle ages, the Mortimer family of Wigmore being one of the great dynastic families of the age. Edmund Mortimer and Philippa Plantaganet, Countess of Ulster married in 1368 in Reading Abbey, with Edward IV, a great grandson of the above couple successfully claiming the throne for the house of York during the Wars of the Roses. The long line of Mortimer of Wigmore became extinct upon the death of young Earl Edmund Mortimer in 1425, but other branches survived, including Hugh Mortimer, who died fighting on the Lancastrian side in the Battle of Wakefield, 1460. One branch that survived past 1400 is of particular interest to Mortimer family researchers, the Mortimers of Attleborough, who were prosperous during the Late Middle Ages but then faded into obscurity after 1387, when most of the Mortimer estates were inherited by female co-heirs.
