Belstone Settlement Profile Belstone 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: Belstone 1 Introduction Belstone lies on the extreme northern edge of the high moor, overlooking the valley of the River Taw. One of the remarkable features of Belstone is how little it has changed in the last 80 or so years. In the past, its local economy revolved around farming, tin working and stone cutting. In the present day, tourism and farming are well represented.

    The Accommodation Five bedrooms Utility (one en suite) Garage Bathroom and WC Parking Shower room and WC Delightful garden Sitting room Beautiful views Large lounge/dining Double glazing room Oil fired CH Kitchen/breakfast room Description A substantial family home in the centre of this charming village on the southern slopes of Dartmoor. Playcroft was originally three thatched properties dating back at least two centuries and the history of ownership goes back well over a hundred years. During the twentieth century the houses were converted into one unit and the roof rebuilt to a more modern standard. Playcross has a very attractive rear elevation which looks out over the main garden which is a delightful and fairly level lawn interspersed with a number of colourful trees and shrubs. The present owners, who have lived in Playcroft for many years, take a delight in their garden and it is a profusion of colour in the spring and early summer. In addition to the back is a further large garden to the side of the property which also has an area of lawn, flowers, a large variety of plants and is enclosed by mature beech hedgerows and fencing. In this part of the garden is the detached, single garage, large woodshed (which is large enough to take a table tennis table), greenhouse and small outhouse immediately behind the house with its own fireplace. This outhouse is block built, and also has a quarry tiled floor, storage heater, power and light and a lean to coal/woodstore adjoining it. There are some lovely views from the garden and particularly from the first floor windows to the property.

  • The Grose Family of Ilsington, Devon Helen Wilson
    The Grose Family of Ilsington, Devon Helen Wilson Introduction At a Dartmoor Tinworking Research Group (DTRG) event in Ilsington in February 2014, Dr Tom Greeves gave a presentation on tinners and tinworking in the area. He described the Grose family who played a crucial role in the development of the mining industry around Ilsington from the 1860s until the early C20th and suggested that someone might like to build on his research. Tom has been privileged to correspond with and then interview William Ambrose Grose (the younger) who remembered much about some of the mines in the Ilsington area from the late C19th to the early C20th. William became an honorary member of DTRG, and his obituary appeared in the January 1995 Newsletter. I became more interested in the Grose family when I came across the photographs featured in this article. They have been reproduced with the permission of the owner, John Rose, and some of the family history is based on his research. Cornish Roots The name Grose (and its variants) has been around since Norman times, being Old French for ‘big’ or ‘fat’. This particular spelling is, for some reason, common in Cornwall. The name Ambrose Grose also has a long history, appearing in Cornish church records as early as 1575. The Grose family in Devon used the forename Ambrose five times within three generations, suggesting that they were descended from an ancient Cornish line. The Ilsington branch of the Grose family originated from Roche. William Grose was baptised there in 1789 and married Mary Ann Parsons in 1819.
