David & Jenny Carter Nimrod Research Docton Court 2 Myrtle Street Appledore Bideford North Devon EX39 1PH www.nimrodresearch.co.uk [email protected] GRENVILLE RESEARCH This report has been produced to accompany the Historical Research and Statement of Significance Reports into Nos. 1 to 5 Bridge Street, Bideford. It should be noted however, that the connection with the GRENVILLE family has at present only been suggested in terms of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Bridge Street. I am indebted to Andy Powell for locating many of the reference sources referred to below, and in providing valuable historical assistance to progress this research to its conclusions. In the main Statement of Significance Report, the history of the buildings was researched as far as possible in an attempt to assess their Heritage Value, with a view to the owners making a decision on the future of these historic Bideford properties. I hope that this will be of assistance in this respect.

The Devon Trafalgar Roll
THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL Extracted from the Ayshford Complete Trafalgar Roll with the kind permission of Pamela and Derek Ayshford. Further details are available at www.ageofnelson.org/ Presented by the Exeter Flotilla on the occasion of the Trafalgar Day Service held on the bicentenary of the battle. INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL On the 19th October 1805 the combined fleet of France and Spain was observed to be sailing from Cadiz. News that the enemy fleet was at sea was relayed to the Commander in Chief of the British fleet, Vice Admiral Lord Nelson, and to intercept it his fleet sailed for the Straits of Gibraltar. On the eve of battle Nelson prayed: - May the great God, whom I worship, grant my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to him that made me, and may his blessings alight my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen. When the fleets met off Cape Trafalgar on the morning of the 21st the British formed two columns and, in light westerly airs, set an easterly course to close. The van was led by Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory and the rear column by Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood’s flagship HMS Royal Sovereign. The combined fleet of 33 sail of the line, commanded by Admiral Villeneuve in Bucentaure, wore round and reached back to the north. -

A twinkle of lights around the nativity scene really brings a smile. I had the magi close and the shepherds scampering off with their ‘Good News’. But even I won’t leave them up after Candlemas on 2nd February. We remember Jesus being brought to the temple in Jerusalem and being dedicated to God, he is launched – the light escapes into all the world. Then it’s only a couple of weeks until Lent begins. The challenge this year is how to enjoy a stack of tossed pancakes with different toppings. They need company, more pancakes and more people! Following the Nativity Trail, someone suggested we had a Pancake Trail! Sounds like a great idea but I gave the challenge to come back when they’d work out how this can possibly be done. Imagine various points around your community where pancakes can be made. Do we have frying pans on Bunsen burners with quantities of batter to pour in? – No, that won’t do because of touching the jug of batter and the pan. -

Johns Family in North Devon - Some Very Ancient History Johns Has Been in Use As a Surname in North Devon As Far Back As the Sixth Century
R.::21 II/I { Johns Family in North Devon - some very ancient history Johns has been in use as a surname in North Devon as far back as the sixth century. There are many legends of King Brechan who was supposed to have gone from Wales to Ireland as a monk of the Celtic Church. On his return to his native Wales he married a nun (quite normal at the time!) and had twenty-six children, all of whom became Saints. He sent them to convert the heathen- that is the population of Devon and Cornwall. The places associated with them and the churches they established still bear their names to this day. Fifteen are in Cornwall. Several settled along the Bristol Channel coast of Somerset and Devon. In North Devon one of these sons of Brechan, 8t Brannock is reputed to have sailed across the Bristol Channel on his cloak. He had been told by God to build a church where he found a farrowing sow. This is the origin of St Brannock's church at Braunton At Instow between Bamstaple and Bideford tradition has it that another son named In which is a form of John came ashore and collected converts. They were Johns' - his people and used his name as their surname, thus Johns unlike Johnson is not a patronymic. It is a curious fact that the surname Johns was only found in the Western Counties of England and in South Wales until the early 19th century. In Cornwall the family was concentrate around Truro and produced some remarkable men including William Noy Johns a Lawyer who became Attorney General to King Charles 1st• In this branch of the family there have been many lawyers. -
