P RE F A C E I n the followin g pages I have endeavoured to put into a coll ected form all the information I have been able to procure relative to the HISTORY o r di A SHBURTON and the Parishes in its imme ate Neighbourhood . I n Books already published , minute particulars have necessarily given place l s of ou r to genera ities , ince from the magnitude their various works Devon s hire Historians have never been able to do indi vidual and particular j ustice to the whole County . I n deference therefore to the kind Wishes expressed by many of the readers ” of The E xete r a n d P l m ou th G a z et te those valuable Local Newspapers y , and “ ” The es t e n M o n i n ews I r e - W r r g N , have collected , arranged , and added c onsiderably t o many of my articles “ publi shed in the fore j ournal during f o f to u . last year , and now venture o fer the res lt my labours to the Public ” Through the kindness of the Proprietors of the Wes t er n M or ni n g News I was enabled to publish some particulars o f the Parishes of Manaton and I lsington I in their columns a few months since , and those accounts have with sundry a r e - 1 dditions , here produced . I should be ungrateful if did not acknowledge the very valuable aid I have received from the varied researches of the R ev . O of late George liver , since much my information has been derived from the Latin deeds (the property of the Dean and Chapter of E W “ xeter) , hich he so carefully transcribed and published in the M on a s ti con “ ” Di oces i s i t es o t he Bi s ho s o Ex ete and in his L f p f r . I H have also to confess my obligations to the Works of our County istorians , R B Westcote , isdon , rice , and Lysons , all of whose volumes as well as those o f ’ . O I the late Dr liver (being in my Father s possession) , have been a ble readily to refer to . I have , moreover , carefully read and freely quoted from the Records of the vi . iBrefat r, of A Parish shburton , and have been able to glean from them many interesting ul partic ars relative to that ancient Borough , whose Subscription Library has of also furnished me with , amongst others , such trustworthy books reference as “ ” “ ” Va l or E ccles i a s ti cu s The olls u n dr eds The the , R of t he H , and ” P a li a m e n t r r a y Wr i ts . I n eed scarcely remark that my accounts of the Chu rches have been written after personal inspection , and I have done my best to describe the A rchitectural diff erences frequently existing in on e and the same building ; I have also carefully exami ned all the remains of A ncient Glass and O ak I t o Cl Carving which have come under my notice , and have thank the ergy of the various Parishes for their uniform attention , assistance , and kindness , i always freely and heart ly given . I n I s i conclusion , appeal to the Public generally to pardon any hortcom ngs or I inaccuracies , and to believe that have taken all due care and trouble to avoid them ; I am very grateful for the many kind promises I have received i I o f support in my undertak ng , and if my health is spared , trust to be “ permitted at no distant day t o Publish a Second Volume of DEVONSHIRE ” PA BI SHES.
