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. Further back in history, the town was the scene of a bloody battle during the Civil War, and must be the only town in England to have had its church accidentally blown up by gunpowder kegs when over 200 prisoners locked up inside killed. Many artefacts from Torrington's colourful past can still be found here: the castle walls, built first in the thirteenth century. The remains of the canal, built without act of Parliament by John Rolle, in 1823, has been preserved by the Torrington Commoners and makes an attractive walk alongside the River Torridge. Then there was an early narrow gauge railway built to bring china clay from the pits at Peters Marland to be distributed to the china companies in the Midlands. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

John Brightland's Grammar (8th Edition, 1759) Cock was a common surname in Devon, and John himself added an “s,” for reasons unknown. 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 History and Topography of Devonshire, published in 1895 says; Considering the antiquity and early importance of Torrington, and the large number of important families resident in the neighbourhood, it may seem ... singular that Torrington should not have had a more prominent place in the national life ... Two causes ... contributed to this ... it lay in an isolated part of the country, outside the run of ordinary traffic; ..

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.

  • 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.

    24/09/2017 Stevenstone - Wikipedia Stevenstone Coordinates: 50.9542°N 4.0983°W From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Stevenstone is a former manor within the parish of St Giles in the Wood, near Great Torrington, North Devon. It was the chief seat of the Rolle family, one of the most influential and wealthy of Devon families, from c. 1524 until 1907. The Rolle estates as disclosed by the Return of Owners of Land, 1873 (corrected by Bateman, 1883) comprised 55,592 acres producing an annual gross income of £47,170, and formed the largest estate in Devon, followed by the Duke of Bedford's estate centred on Tavistock comprising 22,607 Stevenstone House, built by Hon. Mark Rolle between with an annual gross value of nearly 1868 and 1872 to design of Charles Barry junior (died £46,000.[3] 1900). Now a largely demolished ruin. Surviving today is the Palladian library outbuilding, visible to the left, From the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to built by Lord Rolle's grandfather John Rolle (died the Reform Act of 1832 the county 1730). The contemporaneous orangery behind it also parliamentary representatives were chosen survives, both now the property of the Landmark Trust. Published in Morris, Rev. F.O.
