John Cocks, Chapter 1, Early Years in Great Torrington
Previous page John Cocks; Early Years in Great Torrington 1783 - 1807 Grammar does all the Art and Knowledge teach, According to the Use of every Speech, How we our Thoughts most justly may express, In Words together join'd in Sentences. O wondrous Blessing! yet on Terms so cheap, That lowest Stations shall th' Advantage reap; The meanest Britons in this Prize may share Our Albion be what Rome and Athens were. An English Education! Glorious Prize! Fame claps her Wings, and sounds it to the Skies: Tells 'em, the suff'ring Muses are referr'd To be by Theirs and Britain's Guardians heard: Whose Judgement Awes at once, and Charms Mankind, Can silence Slander, and strike Envy blind. John Brightland's Grammar (8th Edition, 1759) Cock was a common surname in Devon, and John himself added an “s,” for reasons unknown. Our Cock family, from the seventeenth century, lived 200 miles away from London at St Giles in the Wood, in Devon. St Giles-in-the-Wood (so called to distinguish it from St. Giles-in-the-Heath, which lies on the borders of Cornwall) lies to the east of Great Torrington, in which the church of St. Giles was originally a chapel. The History and Topography of Devonshire, published in 1895 says; Considering the antiquity and early importance of Torrington, and the large number of important families resident in the neighbourhood, it may seem ... singular that Torrington should not have had a more prominent place in the national life ... Two causes ... contributed to this ... it lay in an isolated part of the country, outside the run of ordinary traffic; ..

Match Report Seniors V's St Giles in the Wood, 8Th May 2012 by Debut
Match Report Seniors V’s St Giles in the Wood, 8th May 2012 By debut reporter Martin Campling Having kept a close eye on the weather forecasts all week, Monday and the game against St Giles was always looking doubtful with heavy rain predicted all day, so when I woke up to be greeted with the normal bank holiday Monday drizzle that began to turn heavier I braced myself for the email or phone call informing me that St Giles had fallen the same way Bideford 2nds and South Plymouth had the previous 2 weekends. I thought to myself that I shouldn’t grumble too much as at least we had got one game in over the weekend and maybe I was asking too much to hope to play twice in 2 days. However as the morning ticked by and the sky lightened there was still no word from Chulmleigh HQ and I allowed myself to dream that maybe just maybe we might be ok. Lunch was enjoyed with even more hope but then as Sam and I left High Bickington the rain began again and continued all the way along the 377 but as we rose up into Chulmleigh the cloud began to break and a not too damp Southcombe ground greeted us. The match got underway on time with Leighton (standing in for the still poorly tummy suffering Jack - not a 2 day hangover!) winning the toss and putting the enthusiastic looking St Giles team into bat on a well prepared and repaired track. The Chulmleigh team had a youthful feel to it with Aidan making his Seniors debut along with his big brother Fenton and Tom Gidney.

A major initiative is the commitment to produce Catchment Management Plans setting out the Authority’s vision for realising the potential of each local water environment. An important stage in the production of the plans is a period of public consultation. The NRA is keen to draw on the expertise and interest of the communities involved. The first plan for consultation in the South West is for the freshwater River Torridge Catchment. The NRA looks forward to receiving comments on the attached draft.
