PAPERS, ETC. |tohp on Jlattt of tfa djuitntg Jauntem BY JAMES BRID&E DAVIDSON, M.A. mHE point at wliicli tlie county of Somerset touches Devon- •h shire on the extreme north-east is a place called Keats’ Mills, a tenement on the eastern bank of the small river Yarty, at a natural ford over the stream, and just below a fork where the two principal branches or feeders of the stream unite. Here the north-eastern angle of Yarcombe parish, in Devon, is met by the three Somerset parishes of Combe St. Nicholas, Buckland St. Mary, and Otterford. Of the two branches, the smaller rises immediately under the south-west angle of Neroche Castle, flowing south through the parish of Buck- land. The larger rivulet, coming down from a point in the Blackdown Hills further west, divides Buckland St. Mary from Otterford. The Yarty river, still flowing south, falls into the Devonshire Axe below Axminster. Its ancient name, AS arta, being in- flected in the genitive to AEartan, gave its name to the valley which the stream has helped to form—AEartaneumb. This, in Domesday, appears as Herticome, was afterwards varied to Yerticombe, and is now Yarcombe. Ne<w Series , Vol. Fill., 1882, Part II. A ) 2 Papers , &c. From Keats’ Mills tlie county boundary runs nearly due west over Brown Down, between Otterford on tbe north and Yarcombe on the south, till it reaches a ford on another river, the Otter, at a point where the south-western angle of Otterford parish, in Somerset, is bounded on the south, south-west, and west by the Devonshire parishes of Yarcombe, Upottery, and Church Stanton.
