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 territory was divided into two parts, East and West Florida, governments were established, and set- tlers and investors soon invaded the new country. Also extensive and valuable land grants were awarded to many gentlemen of wealth and gentlemen with for- tune hunting or philanthropic motives. Lords Grenville, Egmont, Hawke, Templeton, the Marquis of Hastings, and Sir William Duncan, and Dr. Turnbull were among those securing land grants. A genuine “land rush” was made toward Florida. The Annual Register states: “His Majesty this day passed twenty grants of land in East Florida upon petitions of gentlemen of rank and fortune, who in- tended settling them immediately; and it is said that St.

    Little Silver Lodge, Stevenstone, Torrington, Devon EX38 7HX Tel: 01805 622076 Local Plan Consultation Torridge District Council Riverbank House Bideford EX39 2QG 12 th March 2013 Dear Sirs Northern Devon Draft Local Plan I am writing to provide comments in respect of the Consultation Draft of the North Devon and Torridge Local Plan. As a resident of Great Torrington my comments are in respect of the development strategy for the town as a whole, and specific sites proposed. It is appropriate to suggest the town of Great Torrington is near its realistic limit of growth due to landscape constraints – the hilltop position, river Torridge, and Great Torrington Commons etc. The town is in a linear formation and cannot grow any further in a linear direction whilst remaining a sustainable community. The town is already several miles long from end to end east to west, and people do not walk this distance between home and school/work/services but tend to drive. Lengthening the town further, as the plan proposes through allocation of employment land at GTT2, would only exacerbate this. More effort should be made to develop sites in the more central areas around the town. This view is reflected in the SHLAA site assessment reference SHA/GTT/15, which whilst considering residential use nevertheless states that this site ‘lies divorced from any built form’ in Great Torrington, as it is separated by the sports pitches. DCC Highways reference this site as being ‘remote from town’ and the site assessment also states that ‘development would form an inappropriate tongue of built form into the countryside’.

Amberley Publishing, Stroud, 2014. Paperback. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Great Torrington, or Cheping Torrington as it was once known (Chipping being the old name for market) was a considerable town, even in medieval times. It grew steadily from its agricultural roots through an industrial phase and was at the centre of road, canal and railway links. In Victorian times it had mills for corn, sawmills, grist mills and tucking mills, lime kilns and a glove-making factory, which employed 1,000 people, mostly in their own homes. Then there was a fell mongers and skivers works for curing the chamois leather to supply the glove factory. In the twentieth century a giant milk and butter processing plant and glass works were built here. One of Devon's largest land owners, the Rolles, made their home here in the grandest house in North Devon, Stevenstone, and they still live in the area at Heanton Satchville.

  • THE CHINA TOWER, BICTON, DEVON the China Tower Was Erected in 1839 for the Last of One of the Great Devon Dynasties, John, 1St B
    THE CHINA TOWER, BICTON, DEVON The China Tower was erected in 1839 for the last of one of the great Devon dynasties, John, 1st Baron Rolle (2nd creation) of Stevenstone, (1750/1-1842), by his second wife Louisa Trefusis (1796-1885). Daughter of the 17th Baron Clinton, Louise was also of ancient lineage. The Stevenstone connection makes The China Towe a ‘descendant’ of another Landmark, The Library at Stevenstone (probably built by Lord Clinton’s great- great-grandfather Sir John Rolle c.1700). The Bicton and Stevenstone estates were united from the early 17th century. John, Lord Rolle had inherited Bicton and Stevenstone from his father in 1796. In 1796, by a second creation, he became 1st Baron Rolle of Stevenstone (as the more ancient seat). He continued the development of Bicton House and landscaping of its park begun by his father and uncles, developing the parkland around the formal Italianate gardens created in the 1730s. James Wyatt transformed the house in 1800. Lord Rolle had no children in his first marriage, and was seventy when his first wife, Judith, died in 1820. He lost no time seeking a new spouse in the hope of an heir. His choice fell on Louisa Trefusis, who was just twenty six when they married in 1822. This union was also childless, but the marriage was a contented one and the couple put much energy into elaborating the wonderful landscape they created at Bicton. W. S. Gilpin (nephew of author William Gilpin who wrote on the Picturesque) designed the tree planting around a great lake that was excavated in the park in the 1820s.
