Littleham Churchyard EX8 2QH the Largest Churchyard in Devon a Brief Overview Littleham Churchyard EX8 2QH The largest Churchyard in Devon A brief overview. Reproduced with kind permission of Ordnance Survey: © Crown copyright 2009. All rights reserved Littleham Churchyard 1 The Church here is medieval, so it is likely that there have been people buried here since those days. Sadly we have no records of the location of individual graves going back that far. It seems likely that part of the area around the church may have been cleared at some time, and graves re- used. Over the years various additions to the site have been made - at one stage even at the cost of some cottages facing Littleham Road! We know that there must be over 12,000 people buried here - the present site is over 12 acres, and it is the largest churchyard in Devon. A vast, vast area, for which the Church is responsible. However, as there is no civic cemetery in Exmouth, East Devon District Council does give us some financial support to help with the maintenance. But their resources are severely stretched, so the amount of their annual grant is decreasing in ‘real’ terms. The Parochial Church Council is keen to embrace a policy of bio-diversity - to encourage flora and fauna and to provide a habitat for birds, bats and insects etc. Where grass is cut too short, this just cannot happen. Bat boxes will start appearing very soon! We have therefore taken the conscious decision to leave certain areas of the Churchyard uncut for most of the year. The areas chosen are those where the graves are the least visited. We are also proud that we have been able to establish a ‘Natural Burial Area’. Here the coffins used are totally bio-degradable, and no headstones are allowed. We shall shortly be installing a wooden bench at the entrance to the area, and also a Board containing the names of those buried in that area. A few points of interest follow….. The references refer to Plot Numbers - the relevant sections are shown on the map opposite. 2 Bottom section of Churchyard (near the Church) 1. LYCHGATE - The Reverend W.H.D Purcell – As you walk into the entrance to the churchyard, you will pass through the Lychgate. The Lychgate was a memorial gift from the brothers and widow of the Rev William Henry D’Olivier Purcell who had been vicar of this parish for 19 years. Its structure is of English oak, roofed with oaken shingles and it stands upon a base of axed granite and local sandstone, in keeping with the material used in building the church. It is a fitting memorial to a man who laboured so long and faithfully towards his parishioners, to whom he was a devoted and earnest pastor. He is buried round by the Vestry door at the side of the church. (Plot H209) 2. NND ROOM - Rev James Boucher – The NND ROOM was built in memory of Rev James Boucher. He had been Curate of Littleham for 36 years (1865 – 1901) during which time he had endeared himself to the people of the village. His charity work was very wide spread and no request of charity from him was ever met with refusal of support. He founded and endowed many charities for the benefit of the poor. He was a most generous supporter of every charity in the parish and town of Exmouth. His local charitable achievements included the erection of the Church Institute and he contributed towards the building of Budleigh Salterton hospital, as Budleigh Salterton was his next parish after his time in Littleham. Known for his love of the people of the village of Littleham, every year The Reverend Boucher used to arrange a sumptuous high tea and sports day for the whole village in the field next to the thatched cottages. He also arranged ‘Penny Musicals’ once a month on a Saturday night in the schoolroom, where villagers were admitted with or without their penny! After he moved to Budleigh, he continued to preach at Littleham Church on Sunday afternoons, drawing huge crowds from all over the area. Every Sunday he continued to walk over from Budleigh to Littleham, but he gradually felt the infirmities of age and died two weeks after his 90th birthday. 3 When the ‘NND room’ was built, the committee tried to link it with the life of the man they were commemorating. For it was here that he had robed and proceeded to his ministerial duties, and it was here that he had dispensed the charities that his bounties had provided. His memory was further linked to the building by inscribing over the doorway the words that represented the spirit of his life, and that he chose for the designation of the charities that he founded – 'Non Nobis Domine' - which means ‘Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us; but unto thy Name give the praise.’ The room was extended in 2002 to provide a loo, a small kitchen and a store room - thanks to a legacy from Mr A. Connett. For many years Rev. James Boucher and Rev. WHD Purcell were associated in work together in the parish of Littleham so they developed a deep confidence in each other and great mutual respect of each other. The committee placed the memorials of the two men beside each other, so that they would always be remembered for their achievements in life and that in death they would not be divided. James Boucher is buried in the old section of the Churchyard, not far away from Lady Nelson. Plot D721) 3. PARISH CLARK AND MEMBER OF CHOIR - Henry Blackmore - A bit further up the right hand side of the path from the Lychgate and NND room is the grave of Henry Blackmore. (A61). Henry was chorister at Littleham Choir for 60 years and Parish Clerk for 46 years. Through his life he was very well respected. He owned a business at 19 Rolle Street in which he took on the role of Cabinet Maker, Upholsterer, Undertaker, and General House Furnisher and auctioneer. Henry died in 1928. 4. LADY NELSON - Lady Fanny Nelson (Frances Herbert Woolward, 1761-1831) is buried in plot D825 beside her son (Josiah Nisbet). He was her son from her first marriage to Dr Josiah Nisbet. Fanny became ill after her second husband (Horatio Nelson) died at Trafalgar in 1805 and she went to live with her son Josiah and her grandchildren in Paris. Her son and her grandchildren died in Paris. 4 Their bodies were brought to Exmouth at her request. They were buried together at Littleham and Lady Nelson would herself be buried there, too. She died on 6 May 1831 whilst away in London. She was 73 years old and her body was brought back to Littleham for burial. 5. ORIGINATOR OF SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH - Dawson Warren – originator of the submarine telegraph (d.1859) is buried right next to Lady Nelson. (Q18 or Q88?) 6. DRAKE FAMILY – The oldest inscription to the great family in the church is to be found on a fragment of flat stone in the flooring of the Chantry Aisle of the Church and the date is 1553. John Drake (1628) is buried in the churchyard along with other members of this notable family. Naval Graves The churchyard contains many tombstones dedicated to admirals and captains who were present at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and to other military leaders who spent their retirement in Exmouth. 7. ADMIRAL CHRISTOPHER NESHEM (1769 – 1853) (Plot D838) became an admiral in 1852 following 70 years of service in the Royal Navy. In 1782 - Nesham entered the navy in January 1782 on board HMS Juno, and in her was present at the action off Cuddalore on 20 June 1783. In 1785, he was for some time aboard HMS Edgar and aboard the frigate HMS Druid until March 1788. In June 1790 he was appointed to HMS Salisbury. On 17 November 1790 he was promoted to be lieutenant, and during the next two years served in the Channel Fleet. In 1793 he was appointed to the 50-gun HMS Adamant, in which he served on the West Indian, Newfoundland, and home stations. In 1797 he was her first lieutenant in the North Sea, when, during the mutiny and afterwards took part in the battle of Camperdown. 5 On 13 April 1801, invested with the command (which he retained until posted 29 April 1802 of the sloop HMS Suffisante. On 29 April 1802 he was advanced to post rank, and from October 1804 to February 1805 was captain of HMS Foudroyant, in the Bay of Biscay, In March 1807 he was appointed to HMS Ulysses of 44 guns, which he took out to the West Indies, and commanded at the reduction of Marie Galante, in March 1808. In July 1808 he was moved into HMS Intrepid of 64 guns, and in her, in the following February, took part in the capture of Martinique, and superintended the transport of the heavy guns and mortars. On In 1830–1 Nesham commanded HMS Melville of 74 guns, in the Mediterranean. He retired as a rear-admiral on 10 January 1837, but was replaced on the active list on 17 August 1840. He became vice-admiral on 9 November 1846 and admiral on 30 July 1852. He died at Exmouth on 4 November 1853, aged 82. He was buried on 12th November 1853 in Littleham Churchyard. 8. ADMIRAL MORESBY - Also buried at Littleham are members of the Moresby family. (C418 & 447.) Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea was named, we understand, after one of the high-ranking sailors.

Parminter Early Records Jane and Mary Parminter were second cousins and the founders of A la Ronde at Exmouth but their family ancestry goes back through many centuries. The Parminter surname is of Norman origin and derived from the early French trade name parmentier (a tailor) and was found in England shortly after the Norman invasion of 1066. There are records from the thirteenth century 1 of people of that name settled, well established and leasing land in the Gloucestershire village of Tockington, twelve miles north of Bristol, where a John Parminter was recorded in 1220.

  • Littleham Cove Native Copper (UK)
    Littleham Cove native copper (UK) Description: The Devon natural analogue site is an occurrence of metallic copper segregations in a mudstone formation. The site is situated in Devon, SW England, at Littleham Cove near the mouth of river Exe (Figure 1). Geologically the formation belongs the Permian-Triassic sedimentary rock sequence, accumulated more than 200 Million years ago in a large-scale geological depression (the Wessex Basin). The depositional environment was non-marine, rather dry (arid – semiarid), as indicated by the typical red colour caused by oxidized iron (‘red-bed’ deposition). As well as in many other ‘red-bed’ formations, accumulation of uranium-vanadium and Cu (+ other heavy metals) is a typical feature of this sedimentary sequence. Figure 1: Location and geology of the Littleham Cove area (Milodowski et al. 2002) Figure 1 shows the geology of the site, displaying a gently eastward dipping sequence: the formations get gradually younger from the Lower Permian around river Exe to Triassic around Budleigh Salterton. The Pebble bed has been interpreted to represent the lowermost Triassic sedimentation (about 250 Ma ago). The Upper Permian Littleham Mudstone Formation is the specific target of the Devon copper-analogue study. Metalliferous concretions are typical to the Littleham Formation, and are studied in details by Harrison 1975, Milodowski et al 2000, Milodowski et al 2002. Uranium-vanadium rich concretions are most common. The concretions, occurring in localized horizons, are best exposed in cliffs and low-tide shoreline. Often these segregations consist of a U-V-clay mineral core with a surrounding bleached reduction spheroid, giving a ‘fish-eye’ appearance to the concretion.

  • The Changing Years in Littleham-By-Bideford 1950
    THE CHANGING YEARS IN LITTLEHAM-BY-BIDEFORD 1950 - 2007 My first impression of Littleham when I came here in the early '50s was of a truly rural, unspoilt and beautiful area. It was far removed from the busy world of London and the South-East where I had lived and worked. I look back now on these early years with great affection. There was such a relaxed, calm feeling to life. Time seemed to pass more gently. One had time to explore the countryside, enjoy the wonderful coast and moors and feel part of the land around one. Yes! we were busy too, building up a small Market Garden with flowers, vegetables and fruit - plenty of very hard but rewarding work. Later we moved into pigs and poultry. Then came the children, followed by goats and ponies! All were demanding attention and giving added interest to life. The children had a wonderfully free childhood - enjoying to the full, all the environment had to offer; and without the fears, alarms and restrictions of today. They rode for miles on their ponies and enjoyed great experiences with the Pony Club. At that time it was run with military precision by the late Col. Gavin Elliott and Vivian Elliott - both good horsemen and huntsmen. They lived in Rose Cottage on Littleham Hill until quite recent years. The Stevenstone Hunt was very active in the area - and it was a great sight to see them 'meet' locally, at the Village Hall, Crossways, Hoopers Water and, most memorably, the 'Lawn Meets' at Heale House, by invitation of the late Col.
