  • Here It Became Obvious That Hollacombe Crediton and Not Hollacombe Winkleigh Was Implied and Quite a Different Proposition
    INTRODUCTION In 1876 Charles Worthy wrote “The History of the Manor and Church of Winkleigh”, the first and only book on Winkleigh to be published. Although this valuable little handbook contains many items of interest, not all of which fall within the range of its title, it is not a complete history and consequently fails to meet the requirements of the Devonshire Association. More than a dozen years ago a friend remarked to me that the monks of Crediton at one time used to walk to Hollacombe in order to preach at the ancient chapel of Hollacombe Barton. I was so surprised by this seemingly long trek that I made enquiries of the Devonshire Association. I was referred to the Tower Library of Crediton Church where it became obvious that Hollacombe Crediton and not Hollacombe Winkleigh was implied and quite a different proposition. Meantime the Honorary General Editor of the Parochial Section (Hugh R. Watkins Esq.) suggested that I should write a history of Winkleigh. The undertaking was accepted although it was clear that my only qualification for the task was a deep regard for the associations of the parish combined with a particularly intense love for the hamlet of Hollacombe. The result of this labour of love, produced in scanty spare time, and spread over the intervening years should be considered with these points in view. The proof of this present pudding will be measured by the ease with which the less immediately interesting parts can be assimilated by the general reader. Due care has been taken to verify all the subject matter.

    RejJrodzu.:ed by tlzc kind permission of the Society of Antiquaries. ~bt 1!lollllrrtllgr9 of 1!lr\lon: WITH AN ACCOUNT OF 'tHE tiUlltotf)tca BY THE REV. SIDNEY E.

Author of "A Guide to the Reports and TYansactions of the DevonshiYe Associatfon for the Advancement of Science, Literature and Art." ILLUSTRATED. EXETER: WILLIA1'1 POLLARD & Co. LTD., 39 & 40, NORTH STREET Igog. 3ntrobuctor~ 'Rote. This work not only gives an account of the ancient and honourable family of Dodderidge of Devonshire-a Norman house, which, with its cadet branches, shines with more than ordinary lustre· in the annals of genealogical, heraldic, county and national history-but aims at shedding fresh light on the antique collection of books which was bequeathed to the town of Barnstaple in the seventeenth century. Further, whilst illustrating the close connection of the family with this and other ancient towns and parishes of Devonshire, an endeavour has been made to furnish a reliable work of reference in relation to an old county family whose members are still frequently spoken of, or alluded to, in the current literature of the day. The public life story of the Dodderidges deals with a period full of attraction, and various members of the family have been distinguished in their day both for what they have done and for what they have written. It is thought for these reasons that the following account will not fail to interest readers-apart from those who are in any way, or for any reason, attached to the family-who experience pleasure in the perusal of anything relating to the past history of their own county or locality, and who find some delight in reading the careers of any of its great sons.

  • A List of English and Welsh Provincial Gunsmiths and Gunmakers from 1550 to 1850
    Research Press Library English and Welsh Gunsmiths and Gunmakers, 1550 – 1850 A List of English and Welsh Provincial Gunsmiths and Gunmakers from 1550 to 1850 by Brian Godwin The following pages contain a list of English and Welsh gunsmiths and gunmakers from around 1550 to about 1850*. The list has been compiled from free on-line sources such as County Record and Archive Offices and The National Archives, but it must not be considered a definitive list, as new information is added from time to time. The availability of on-line sources from English and Welsh County Record and Archive Offices varies enormously, some as yet having no searchable digitised records, while in other Offices the digitalisation of records can vary from 20% to 80%. In the tables each County is listed alphabetically in a PINK banner, although this may cause some confusion as Yorkshire and Sussex, for instance, are split into east and west regions. For those searching for the gunmakers of “Birmingham and its environs” you will need to search the three principal sections of the list, “Birmingham and the West Midlands”, “Staffordshire Record Office” and “Warwickshire Record Office”. The Record Office document reference is shown on the right hand side and the date of the document on the left. A copy of the document can usually be obtained from the appropriate Record Office quoting the reference, although there is no guarantee that the document will provide additional information. However, the vast majority of Wills do give an insight into a particular gunmaker and sometimes provide details of his wealth, family and workshop.

They provide a visual presentation of the spatial distribution of the larger currently licensed water abstractions within defined catchments. Also shown are NRA monitoring sites for Flood Warning, Rainfall, Climate, Groundwater Status and Flow Gauging Sites. Information is current for the date displayed. The inclusion of reference numbers enables data to be accessed easily for further details as required, either internally or externally. When used in conjunction with the Water Quality Maps and Index, (report FWP/92/001) they provide a compatible display of 'activities' (within catchments). It has been necessary to display the information in two separate reports for clarity. Most abstractors of natural (non-mains) water supplies are required to hold a Licence under the Water Resources Act 1991. There are however some significant exceptions to this principle, the main ones are listed below * Abstractions from groundwater for own private domestic use where quantity is less than 20 cubic metres per day. * Abstractions from inland waters (surface water) on abstractors own property for either agricultural and/or own private domestic use, provided that the aggregate quantity for those uses is less than twenty cubic metres per day.
