  • Mortimers in the 16Th Century Devon Tax Rolls in 1524, Henry VIII Raised
    Mortimers in the 16th century Devon Tax Rolls In 1524, Henry VIII raised a tax in attempt to fund the war with France. This was repeated again in 1543. These records are among the earliest accessible records of Mortimers in Devon and give us a glimpse of the prosperity and distribution of members of the Mortimer family during the first half of the 16th century. Overall, there were 25 men and women listed in 1524, having already spread to 16 parishes. 19 years later, they had absented from several of the aforementioned parishes but expanded to 19 parishes. The name has been standardised to Mortimer for internet search purposes. Little meaning was attached to the spellings of names in the 1500s and spelling varied widely.

  • Devon Historic Churches Day the Worlingtons Were Wonderful
    Devon Historic Churches Day The Worlingtons were wonderful – again….. Steve Baber led The Charge again, supported so superbly by our Churchwardens Patrick Brook and Ray Bassingthwaighte with Michael Wall venturing into ‘Outer Limits’ all to raise funds for our Devon churches. There is clearly something very special about living in Worlington that gives so many of our residents the energy to go the extra mile for so many good causes – and for the many who have supported them with sponsorship for their endeavours. As County Organiser I was ‘out and about’ (by car of course!) with visits to various churches. Each year I choose a different area of the county and this year most of it was spent in Cadbury Deanery – starting with an 8am visit to Kennerleigh Church – then Sandford and Crediton before spending time with churches in central Exeter which were taking part in their annual Pilgrimage – the highlight of which was at the Cathedral where Bishop Martin Shaw entertained us amusingly as always over some splendid refreshments. Back on the road for me, with a visit to Cheriton Fitzpaine, Stockleigh English, Wolfardisworthy, Morchard Bishop and Lapford before crossing the border into the South Molton Deanery to visit Chulmleigh where they were not only held a coffee morning but also in the afternoon some exciting abseiling from the church tower. I then visited Chawleigh before returning to our Worlingtons. Altogether a most rewarding day, giving me the opportunity to meet good folk in each location and discuss the challenges they had with maintaining their churches – but everyone I met was happy and supportive - despite the heavy showers.

  • Chivelstone Church
    Chivelstone Church KEU3A LHG meeting 18 September 2013 Introduction Dedicated to St Sylvester, a Pope 312-325, though the earliest record of the dedication was as late as 1742. This is a sister church to St Martins of Sherford and both founded by Stokenham Church soon after it was built, (1431). This latter was first dedicated to St Humbert, then St Barnabus and is now St Michael and all Angels. Unlike St Martins of Sherford, Chivelstone church remained a dependency of Stokenham, and through it, associated with the Priory of Totnes, and through the web of ecclesiastical feudal connections, with St Serge of Angers, Tywardeath in Cornwall and ultimately in 1495 with Bisham Abbey in Berkshire…. Chivelstone Church and Parish are a part of the Coleridge Hundred and as such was part of the original bequest to Judel by William the Conqueror. The Coleridge Hundred was composed of 20 parishes including Totnes and the outlying parishes of Ashprington and Thurlestone. (Despite what J. Goodman wrote in his book on Sherford it seems that the Hundreds of Coleridge and Chillington are the same. Heather Burwin in her book "the Coleridge Hundred and its Medieval Court" says that the Hundred Court was at Stokenham). The Stanborough Hundred covered other adjacent Parishes. It is recorded that Sir R.L Newman was the Lord of the Manor at Stokenham and there are memorials to him in the Chivelstone Church. The history of these three churches differs. St Martins (dedicated in1457), was involved in a gift by Gytha, daughter of King Canute, to St Olaves' in Exeter and from then, as St Olaves came under the aegis of William's newly established St Nicholas's Priory, it became one of the possessions of Battle Abbey (also built by William the Conqueror).

  • Extreme Weather Resilience Report: Devon
    Extreme weather resilience report: Devon May 2014 Devon County Council County Hall Topsham Road Exeter Devon EX2 4QD 1 1. Introduction The succession of storm events across the three months from December 2013 through to February 2014, including the effect on the strategic rail network with the collapse of the sea wall at Dawlish on the South Devon coast, has yet again underlined the severe impact that extreme weather has on community resilience, transport, local government and the economy of the South West Peninsula. The Peninsula is southern Britain’s front-line for intense storms tracking across the Atlantic under the influence of the jet stream. Climate change projections warn that such events are likely to occur more frequently. This report focuses specifically on the impacts the weather has had on Devon. 2. Background and context There are approximately 13,000 kilometres of road in Devon, more than any other Local Authority area in the Country. This network is a vital part of the transport infrastructure of the County, enabling people, services and goods to move efficiently. The combined network of Trunk Roads, rail lines and County highways provides the strategic links both within Devon and between Devon and the rest of the country. The network is also vital in terms of the connectivity of Plymouth, Torbay and Cornwall. The local road network supports all of Devon’s rural communities providing their vital link to jobs, services and support to Devon’s rural economic activity. Severe flooding events, storm surges, coastal tidal issues and high winds were experienced in Devon and the wider South West peninsula during December, January and February of 2013-14.
