  • Summer 2019 Walks Programme with Adverts ROBOROUGH.Pub
    Summer 2019 Walks Programme Message From The Chair am proud to be taking over the helm of our very successful Ramblers Group and as the days start to get longer, the I birds start singing and the spring flowers begin to rear their heads, the final confirmation that summer is approaching is the appearance of the Tavistock Ramblers Summer Walks Programme. Preparing the programme is akin to drawing up a menu. Retaining a few proven favourites but trying a selection of new “dishes” with Paul being Head Chef. So it is with our latest programme. We always like to thank our leaders who submit walk suggestions but this time they seem to have excelled even their high standards. As a result, we have been able to put on more walks than usual; more Wednesday and Thursday walks, linear walks, walks as part of Dartmoor Walking Festival and a repeat of the popular Lych Way walk. The “menu” guarantees there is something for everyone. The good news is that even if you overindulge, it will be good for you! Even the strongest walkers have to stop and rest sometimes which is where the social programme comes in, so make sure you look at what is planned over the coming months and come along. Many of the walks have a particular social slant as well, so there is always an opportunity to share extra time and laughter with each other. Whether you are a regular or occasional walker, a new or older member, you are all very welcome in our Tavistock Ramblers family and we all look forward to spending time with you.

  • The Regular and the Secular: Plympton Priory and Its Connections to the Secular Clergy
    CHAPTER SEVEN THE REGULAR AND THE SECULAR: PLYMPTON PRIORY AND ITS CONNECTIONS TO THE SECULAR CLERGY As was seen in Chapter Three, a topic of research which has drawn much attention from scholars of medieval monastic history has been the support that religious houses received from their patrons and benefactors. Less work has been done, however, on the subject of the religious houses themselves as patrons of the secular clergy.1 This is surprising, since many religious houses possessed the right to present clerics to various parish churches—a right also known as the “advowson” in England—and consequently played an important role in assisting members of the secular clergy to obtain bene ces.2 A religious house that possessed many advowsons or advowsons yielding high incomes was likely to receive many expressions of interest from unbene ced clerics 1 Christopher Harper-Bill, ‘The Struggle for Bene\ ces in Twelfth-Century East Anglia,’ Anglo-Norman Studies XI, Proceedings of the Battle Conference, 1988, ed. R. Allen Brown (Woodbridge, 1989), pp. 113–32, discusses the in uence of the papacy, the episcopacy, and the Crown on monastic presentations to bene ces; Richard K. Rose, ‘Priests and Patrons in the Fourteenth-Century Diocese of Carlisle,’ in The Church in Town and Countryside: Studies in Church History, vol. 16 (Oxford, 1979), pp. 207–18, includes religious houses in his examination of the patrons of the bene ced clergy in the diocese of Carlisle; Barrie Dobson, Durham Priory, 1400–1450 (Cambridge, 1973), pp. 144–72, discusses the patronage of the prior of Durham, as does Robert Donaldson in ‘Sponsors, Patrons and Presentations to Bene ces—Particularly those of the Prior of Durham—during the Later Middle Ages,’ Archaeologia Aeliana 38 ser.

  • 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.
