  • Archaeological Investigation at Hartland, Devon
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION AT HARTLAND, DEVON EXPLORING ARCHAEOLOGY PROJECT MARCH 2009 A Report for The Hartland Society ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION AT HARTAND, DEVON By Penny Cunningham PhD With contributions by Stephen Hobbs, David Miller, Tim Robinson, Catherine Griffiths and Henrietta Quinnell March 2009 2 Acknowledgements Thanks are due to Sir Hugh and Lady Stucley for giving permission to conduct geophysical surveys and an evaluation excavation and to the tenant farmers Mr and Mrs Davey. The Warren is also under the Countryside Stewardship Scheme and additional thanks go to Simon Tame of Natural England for giving permission to conduct the evaluation excavation. A big thanks is also due to Stephen and Liz Hobbs for all the help in organising the geophysical surveys, excavation and volunteers. Without their support and enthusiasm none of this work would have been possible. The geophysical survey was undertaken by a number of people and thanks are due to Sean Hawken and David Miller. Thanks are also due to additional geophysical surveying undertaken by David Miller and Tim Robinson (Hartland Abbey). The excavation benefited from the hard work of a large number of people, in particular, Sam Walls, Wendy Howard, and Becky Miller who all worked tirelessly to ensure a high standard was maintained throughout the excavation. Alison Mills from Barnstaple Museum gave advice and support during the excavation and also provided help with the school activities. Thanks also go to Bill Horner and Francis Griffiths for all their sound advice during the planning stage. Jonathan Bray, Simon Hogg, Peter Jones, Dean McMullen, Harry West-Taylor and Fiona Reading helped with the post excavation work, especially with the illustrations.

  • 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.

  • Northern Devon in the Domesday Book
    NORTHERN DEVON IN THE DOMESDAY BOOK INTRODUCTION The existence of the Domesday Book has been a source of national pride since the first antiquarians started to write about it perhaps four hundred years ago. However, it was not really studied until the late nineteenth century when the legal historian, F W Maitland, showed how one could begin to understand English society at around the time of the Norman Conquest through a close reading and analysis of the Domesday Book (Maitland 1897, 1987). The Victoria County Histories from the early part of the twentieth century took on the task of county-wide analysis, although the series as a whole ran out of momentum long before many counties, Devon included, had been covered. Systematic analysis of the data within the Domesday Book was undertaken by H C Darby of University College London and Cambridge University, assisted by a research team during the 1950s and 1960s. Darby(1953), in a classic paper on the methodology of historical geography, suggested that two great fixed dates for English rural history were 1086, with Domesday Book, and circa 1840, when there was one of the first more comprehensive censuses and the detailed listings of land-use and land ownership in the Tithe Survey of 1836-1846. The anniversary of Domesday Book in 1986 saw a further flurry of research into what Domesday Book really was, what it meant at the time and how it was produced. It might be a slight over-statement but in the early-1980s there was a clear consensus about Domesday Book and its purpose but since then questions have been raised and although signs of a new shared understanding can be again be seen, it seems unlikely that Domesday Book will ever again be taken as self-evident.
