Peter Tavy Settlement Profile Peter Tavy September 2019 This settlement profile has been prepared by Dartmoor National Park Authority to provide an overview of key information and issues for the settlement. It has been prepared in consultation with Parish/Town Councils and will be updated as necessary. Settlement Profile: Peter Tavy 1 Introduction Lying on the western borders of Dartmoor, 3 miles northeast of Tavistock, Peter Tavy is a village with a clear nucleus but which spreads to the south and east. The village has a history of mining, and retains a strong agricultural character. Th mills that exploited the power of the Colly Brook that passes through the centre of the settlement are important features. The Methodist Chapel and school were important additions to the village in the 19th century and 20th century building is scattered around the village, particularly in the south. The village progressively lost its range of services and facilities over the years. There is, however, an attractive inn, a church founded in Norman times, and a village hall. It is notable that the village has retained a working farm at its centre.

  • ELFORD It Is Thought That the Elford Family Gave Their Name to Yelverton
    ELFORD It is thought that the Elford family gave their name to Yelverton (Elford’s Town), near Plymouth but that they originated in the village of Elford in Staffordshire.1 The name derives from either Ella’s Ford or the elder tree ford.2 A Robert Elford was the sheriff of Cornwall in the early fourteenth century.3 The main concentration of the name is in southwest Devon.4 The earliest ancestors in this line lived in the reign of Elizabeth I. 11x great grandfather William Elford married Joan Cudlipe on the 2nd of September 1583 In Mary Tavy, Devon.5 Mary Tavy is a small rural parish in south west Devon, The Origin of the Surname Elford on the edge of Dartmoor. It is three and a half miles north of the market town of Tavistock and eighteen miles north of the port of Plymouth. The focus of the surname Cudlipe is in mid and south west Devon.6 The hamlet of Cudlippstown in Peter Tavy may have been named for the family, or it might refer to a ‘leap over a stream’. A likely origin of the name is as a nickname for one who had a cut or cleft lip.7 The Origin of the Surname Cudlipp William and Joan had six children baptised in Mary Tavy: 10x great grandfather Peter Extract from a Parish Map Elford on the 29th of June 1584; Paschovia ©Devon Family History Society on the 5th of May 1586; Richard on the 26th 1 Laura Elford The Elfords: the story of an ancient family Privately Published (1972-1976).
