4 1. Introduction This report is a supplement to ‘The landscape around Chulmleigh in 1711: a reconstructed map’, a paper published in the Report and Transactions of the Devonshire Association.1 The reader should refer to that paper for background information, explanations, and general discussion.

The supplementary material presented in this report is in four parts. First, the report reproduces the complete texts of the two historical documents on which the paper is largely based (known as the M and P documents). The documents record the results of a very detailed survey of the manor of Chulmleigh in Devon that was carried out in 1711. Second, maps of the manor that have been reconstructed from an analysis of those documents are printed in this report at a larger scale than was possible in the small pages of the Transactions. Third, the report sets out in full detail the analysis that underlies the maps. Finally, as an aid to further research using these documents, the report provides indexes to the place-names and personal names that occur in them.

For information about the history of Chulmleigh that is not directly related to the present study, in particular when writing the footnotes for the transcripts, I have largely relied on the published works of Richard Bass.2 Dates of houses, inns and chapels are taken from the official records of listed buildings in Chulmleigh parish.3 Other sources are explicitly referenced in the footnotes.

5 2. The manuscripts The following transcripts reproduce the text of two documents. The first, which is here called the M document, is contained in a well preserved volume measuring 31 by 21 centimetres that has The Mannor and Borough of Chulmleigh in Devonshire 1711 written on its front cover.4 It was deposited in the Devon Record Office in 2000; before that it had been the property of Hannaford and Southcombe, a long established firm of auctioneers and estate agents in Chulmleigh. Apart from the M document, the volume contains three other documents which are not transcribed here. The first of the other documents, on the volume’s first page, is a short valuation of the prebends of Brookland, Pendalls and Higher Haynes in Chulmleigh. This is followed (after five blank pages) by the M document, which fills 61 pages, written in a very elegant hand. Following the M document, in a different and much less readable hand, are 78 pages of household accounts dated 1783–95. After that there are many blank pages, until at the end of the volume there is a four-page valuation of part of Chulmleigh manor dated 1767. Preliminary research on the volume was done by Richard Bass. In an article in The Devon Historian,5 he established that the household accounts are those of Joseph Wimpey, a gentleman farmer from the Christchurch area in Dorset, and that the manor valuation at the end of the volume is a partial copy of a document which is now in the Duke of Beaufort’s estate papers.6 (Wimpey purchased the manor of Chulmleigh from the Duke of Beaufort in 1767.) The prebend valuation on the volume’s first page is entitled ‘Three Prebends in Chulmleigh in the Hands of Shirley Cotes, Survey taken in 1711’. It is known from a different source that Shirley Cotes was the prebendary of Brookland in 1761,7 fifty years after the survey, which makes it very unlikely that the prebend valuation was actually written in 1711. This conclusion is confirmed by the fact that there is no mention of Cotes in the P document, which deals with the prebends. It is possible that the prebend valuation was written in 1767, at the same time as the manor valuation at the end of the volume, although its figures were copied from the 1711 survey. The second document transcribed below, which is here called the P document, is a volume entitled The Parsonage and Preband Lands in the Mannor and Burrough of Chulmleigh Divonshire Surveyed MDCCXI.8 It was deposited in the Devon Record Office in 1967 by Mrs R. A. Abigail of Wyndhams, Chittlehampton, and nothing else is known of its provenance. The document consists of 11 large pages, measuring about 51 by 42 centimetres, and they must have been in a rather fragile state until 1967 when the volume was given conservation treatment. Fortunately, the content is almost entirely intact. Four of the P document’s pages (pp. 1, 4, 6 and 10) are occupied by maps. The first map shows the prebendal land around Chulmleigh village, including a depiction of the village itself,9 and the other three maps show Brookland Farm and southern parts of Parsonage Farm. The maps in the present report are partly based on the maps in the P document. The P document is certainly one of the original documents of the 1711 survey, the work of the surveyor Joseph Gillmore. The origin of the M document is more obscure. This problem is discussed in the accompanying paper.10

6 3. Editorial conventions The following transcripts reproduce the spelling and capitalization of the original text, except that ‘ff’ at the beginning of a word has been replaced by ‘F’. Punctuation has been edited slightly to improve readability but has not been corrected systematically. Abbreviations in the manuscripts have generally been extended in the transcripts (e.g. ‘Fra.’ is transcribed as ‘Francis’), but ‘&’ and ‘&c’ (meaning et cetera) have been retained. A stylized form of the letter ‘p’ in the manuscripts has been transcribed as ‘per’, the abbreviation ‘als’ as ‘alias’ and ‘ye’ as ‘the’. Areas are given in the manuscripts in acres, roods and perches11 and they are reproduced in the transcripts separated by hyphens (for example ‘2-1-17’ means 2 acres, 1 rood and 17 perches). Monetary values are in pounds, shillings and pence12 and usually occur in the manuscripts without currency symbols, but in the transcripts they are always shown with the symbols ‘£’, ‘s’ and ‘d’ to distinguish them clearly from areas. Editorial insertions in the transcripts are either in square brackets or in footnotes. ‘[?]’ after a word indicates that the reading is uncertain and ‘[...]’ indicates missing text caused by damage to the manuscript. Text that is crossed out in the manuscripts is omitted from the transcripts if it is just a trivial error correction, but if it is more significant then it is noted in square brackets. Words inserted into the text in the hand of the original writer (i.e. with a ‘^’ mark below the line) have been incorporated into the transcripts without comment. Each of the original documents is divided into numbered sections which are referred to in the documents themselves as ‘folios’. In the M document there are 39 folios, each of which is either a single page or two facing pages. Folio numbers, from 1 to 39, are written at the top of each page. In the P document all the folios are single pages; no folio numbers are marked (they might have been lost when damaged page edges were trimmed off) but there are references to folio numbers in the document which imply that they were numbered from 1 to 11. In the present report, folio numbers that refer to the M and P documents are prefixed by the letters M and P. The transcripts also give (in square brackets on the left of the page) a separate reference number for each itemized piece of land, obtained by numbering the items consecutively within each folio; for example, ‘[M4.6]’ means the sixth item listed on folio M4. These reference numbers do not exist in the original manuscripts; they have been introduced in this report for the purpose of cross-referencing. In the manuscripts, the information is generally set out in the form of tables. In most of the folios there are table columns that contain the acreages of meadow, pasture, arable and wood, and the value per acre and value per annum of each piece of land. Acreages of farmsteads and orchards are conventionally in the meadow column, and some of the figures in the wood column are annotated with the word ‘furze’, ‘brake’, ‘broom’ or ‘coppice’. In the P document only, there are also table columns that give map references. This tabular layout is not reproduced in the transcripts (except for summary tables in folios M33 to M35). Instead, the transcripts give all non-zero acreages prefixed by the relevant column heading in square brackets. For example, ‘[pasture] 9-0-13’ means that the area 9-0-13 appears in the pasture column and that the meadow, arable and wood columns are blank. If an acreage in the wood column is annotated then it appears in the transcript as, for example, ‘[furze] 1-1-12’. Values per acre (which are usually in shillings) are given in the transcripts as, for example, ‘[v.p.ac.] 12s’, or in the form ‘[v.p.ac.] 8s/5s’ if different values are stated for two different kinds of land in one field. Values per annum of individual fields (i.e. the field’s acreage multiplied by its value per acre) are omitted from the transcripts, but the total value per annum of each tenement (i.e. the sum of those values) is reproduced. Map references in the P document have not been transcribed.

11 1 acre = 4 roods, 1 rood = 40 perches and 1 perch = 30.25 square yards. 12 £1 = 20 shillings and 1 shilling = 12 pence.

7 4. The M document (DRO 5911Z/E1)

[Folio M1] The Mannor and Borough of Chulmleigh In Devonshire 1711.

There are Two distinct Courts kept at Chulmleigh (Viz) a Court Leet13 for the Borough14 of the Mannor of Chulmleigh within a Month after Michaelmas at which Court these Officers following are chosen and presented by the Jury (Viz) a Portreeve15 (out of some of those Estates which are Freeholders and pays only to his Grace16) Two Constables Two Supervisors of the Markets Two Ale tasters and Two Searchers and Sealers of Leather and the Jury enquire of all of all [sic] matters enquirable in a Leet. The Second Court is within a Month yearly after Easter and then the Jury choose and present Two Supervisors of the Highways within the Borough who are there sworn and enquire and present all matters enquirable in a Court Leet. At these Courts is a Court Baron17 also held. Two Court Leets for the Mannor of Chulmleigh18 are likewise held on the same days and that Court at Michaelmas the Jury choose and present a person to the Office of Tythingman19 for the Mannor of Chulmleigh who is there Sworne and enquire and present all other matters as in a Leet and for the Lord ought to be enquired and presented. There is every Three Weeks a Court Baron held both for the Mannor and Borough for the recovery of small Debts and Trying of Actions under Forty Shillings.

13 The court leet was a community meeting attended by the tenants and freeholders of the manor and presided over by the lord’s steward. The court appointed various officials (as listed) who would probably have served without pay for one year. 14 The borough was the village, as distinct from the rest of the manor. 15 The portreeve was the chief official of the borough. 16 The terms ‘his Grace’ and ‘my Lord’ refer to Henry Somerset, the second Duke of Beaufort (1684–1714), who was the lord of the manor and who commissioned this survey. His seat was Badminton in Gloucestershire and his land was mainly in Gloucestershire and southern Wales. Chulmleigh was a remote outlying part of the estate. 17 The court baron administered the tenure of leasehold land and the payment of rent, and dealt with debts and disputes between the tenants. 18 That is, for the part of the manor outside the borough. 19 The tythingman was like a deputy constable.

20 These fields are near the confluence of the Taw and Little Dart rivers (see map 2). ‘Casham Bridge’ is Kersham Bridge, the bridge over the Taw near Bridge Reeve. 21 Heriot: a customary payment made to the lord of the manor on the death of a tenant. The payment could be in the form of money, the best animal on a farm, or even the best farm implement (e.g. Sydham, folio M21). 22 These fields are between the River Taw and what is now Leigh Cross (see map 2). ‘Colliton free Land’ is the land of Colleton Barton which was a separate manor. 23 This land is beside the Little Dart River to the south of what is now Leigh Cross (see map 2). The A377 road (made c.1830 by Barnstaple Turnpike Trust) and the Exeter–Barnstaple railway (opened in 1854) now pass through it. ‘Chawley Week Road’ was a lane that crossed the Little Dart River at a ford about 250 metres upstream from the present A377 road bridge. The lane still exists on the Chawleigh side of the river, leading to Chawleigh Week. 24 Suit at mill: the tenant’s obligation to pay to grind his corn at the lord’s mill. 25 This tenement (see map 3) included fields that were incorporated into the park of Leigh House when the mansion was built early in the nineteenth century. It is significant that the document does not mention a house on this tenement but only a couple of barns; if a predecessor of Leigh House existed in 1711 it must have been excluded from the survey. ‘Lee Lane’ is Leigh Road.

27 Two fields near Wallingbrook Cross (see map 3). 28 What is here called the Almshouse must be Ladywell Cottages (now a ruin). The lane is now on the west edge of the golf course. ‘Skinner’s Ground’ is still three fields today (see map 3). 29 ‘Langand Lane’ is Langley Lane. 30 ‘Nine Acres’ was a small piece of land, in fact only a quarter of an acre, at Wallingbrook Cross (see map 3). 31 This tenement was on the north side of Leigh Road (see map 3). ‘Mr Bury’s free Land’ was the land of Colleton Barton, then owned by Thomas Bury. 32 ‘Lee Coppice’ is called Bigg’s Wood on modern maps. 33 A property on the north side of New Street (then called Pound Street).

34 A meadow on the west side of South Molton Street, now occupied by the house called Horsepool Meadow. 35 A property near the west end of East Street, probably on the south side of the street. The market cross might be what is represented by a hard-to-interpret symbol on the map on folio P1, located at the junction of East Street and Fore Street. 36 ‘King’s Parks’ was a group of fields on the north side of Back Lane (see map 4). 37 ‘Water Lane Street’ was the part of Leigh Road lying within the village. Barbara Perkin’s cottage cannot be identified precisely but it might have been the predecessor of Myrtle Cottage. 38 Presumably this is Rock Cottage (see map 4), unless there was another cottage near Dartridge Wood in 1711. It is clearly not the present Dunn’s Cottage which is in East Street. 39 ‘Leaked Moor’ is Lakehead Moor, the historical name for a large tract of rough pasture to the north of Chulmleigh which is mostly occupied today by a conifer plantation called Longmoor Wood. ‘Horse Down Parks’ are the fields between Longmoor Wood and Bond’s Cross (see maps 8 and 9). The Barnstaple Road and the Bideford Road are the roads heading northward and westward respectively from Bond’s Cross. 40 Sowdon’s freehold land was around Bond’s Cross; see M10.18 and M10.26 for other references to it.

41 Ford Farm (see map 8). 42 The description of the lane past Ford Farm as ‘Torrington Road’ is odd as this is not an obvious route to Great Torrington, or indeed to anywhere other than Elstone. 43 ‘Rolle’s free land’ refers to the adjoining farms of Elstone and Lakehead which belonged to the manor of Newnham, the property of Lord Rolle. 44 Dobb’s Moor (see map 9) was open moorland in 1711 but was enclosed by 1841, becoming a separate farm. It is curious that Dobb’s Moor was part of Ford Farm as the places are about a mile apart. 45 Thurle Farm (see map 9). Much of the south and west of the farm was rough pasture in 1711.

46 ‘Charnamoor’ is the historical name for the fields just to the north of Chulmleigh village on the eastern side of Bond’s Cross (see map 4); the name survives today in Charneymore Cross at the north end of Langley Lane. ‘Deep Lane’ is the road between Charneymore Cross and Parsonage Cross. 47 The triangular field called Plain Moor now contains the library and secondary school. 48 ‘Higher Purthams’ was a smallholding to the north-east of Chulmleigh village (see map 4). 49 The map on folio P10 reveals that this cottage was on the southern side of the road, near to what is now a lay-by adjoining a small wood (see map 9). Both the cottage and the garden had disappeared by 1841 and the modern road probably passes directly through their site. 50 Bond’s Farm (see map 4), which perhaps takes its name from this Peter Bond. 51 This property in South Molton Street was probably on the east side where the map on folio P1 shows a large house with an L-shaped range behind. The Bethlehem Methodist chapel was built on or near the site in 1836. 52 A field now incorporated into the golf course (see map 4).

If the house and outbuildings were adjacent then they must have been at the corner between New Street (then called Pound Street) and Fore Street (then the market place). 60 The ‘Bowling Green’ is now Davy Park. 61 The field now occupied by Leigh Villas. 62 This property in South Molton Street was quite a substantial one (the area stated is about 900 square yards) but the survey gives no clues to its exact location. Perhaps it included the Old Bakehouse which was originally a sixteenth- century merchant’s house. 63 The ‘Meeting House’ is the Congregational Chapel which was built in 1710 and later enlarged. 64 The predecessor of the Red Lion Hotel. The present building dates from the late-eighteenth or early-nineteenth century.

65 ‘High Street’ is now Fore Street. The exact location of the Bell Inn is not known. 66 Markets were on Tuesdays and Fridays besides several great markets in the summer, and the annual fair was on St Mary Magdalene’s day (information from Dean Milles’s enquiries, c.1750, in the Bodleian Library and on microfilm in the Westcountry Studies Library, Exeter). 67 A house in East Street near the western end. See M8.1 for another reference to the market cross. 68 A house by the western end of the churchyard. 69 Cordwainer: a shoemaker. Probably his occupation was stated here to distinguish him from the other Francis Lawrence. The cage may have been the lock-up for petty offenders. 70 ‘Back Lane’ here means the part of New Street south of the church (see map 4), not the other Back Lane to the north of the village. The wide part of the street is still known as Shippens (sheep pens).

71 A house in New Street, probably with its back against the churchyard and facing the entrance of the Rock Hill lane. Several small houses here were demolished in Victorian times. 72 A house in Windy Cross Street or Egypt Lane, possibly the predecessor of Rook Park. 73 This tells us that there was an almshouse in New Street as well as the almshouse at Ladywell Cottages. 74 This land was to the south-east of the village, bounded on the north by the lane leading to Huntacott Bridge (‘the Road to Tiverton’) and on the south by the lane leading to Park Mill (see map 5). The northern part of the land became known as Channon’s Parks, possibly named after this John Channon. The comment ‘formerly parcel of Chulmleigh Parks’ refers to the Courtenays’ deer park that had included this land in the Middle Ages. 75 Lodge Farm, another part of the medieval deer park (see map 5). In 1711 this tenement included much of the land between Park Mill Lane and the Little Dart River.

76 Park Mill Wood. 77 ‘The Rails’ were fields on the hillside between Lodge and Sydham (see map 6). It would be interesting to know how they got this name. 78 Park Mill Farm (see map 5). 79 ‘Borne Brook’ is the stream called Huntacott Water on modern maps. 80 The ‘South Cleeves’ were on the southern side of the Little Dart River (i.e. in Chawleigh parish), from near Chulmleigh Bridge upstream nearly as far as Woodhouse Wood (see map 5). It is curious that the manor of Chulmleigh intruded into Chawleigh parish just at this place. A plausible explanation is that the South Cleeves had been part of the Courtenays’ deer park in the Middle Ages.

81 North Parks Farm, the most northerly part of the former deer park (see map 5). Although quite a large farm, the document makes no mention of a farmstead at North Parks; it must have been built at a later date. The present brick- fronted farmhouse appears to date from the late eighteenth century. Diggory Cock, the tenant of North Parks in 1711, lived in the village (as we are told on folios M37 and P3). Like his father, who was also called Diggory, he was a prominent Nonconformist. He was instrumental in building the Congregational Chapel in 1710. See L. Fisher, Chulmleigh: A Memorandum on the Dating of the Chapel and the Reverend Lewis Stucley 1622–1687 (privately printed, 1994; copy in Westcountry Studies Library, Exeter). 82 The name ‘Lower Rails’ in this item is a mistake: it should be ‘Higher Rails’ (see M19.2). 83 ‘Lower Purthams’ was a smallholding in the little valley between Langley Lane and North Parks (see map 4). 84 ‘Sidham’ is Sydham Farm (see map 6).

85 ‘Lower Garden’ should be ‘Lower Gradon’ (cf. M21.17). 86 ‘Hunticote’ is Huntacott Farm (see map 6). The farm was divided into two parts (moieties) with intermingled fields, and unfortunately only one of the parts was itemized in the survey. For the other half, see folio M36. 87 In 1841 there was a small farm called Edgiford centred on a cottage (at grid reference SS715151), but it did not outlast the nineteenth century. The M document shows that in 1711 the Edgiford lands consisted of just four large enclosures (see map 7); the cottage, presumably, did not yet exist. The present-day Edgiford Farm (built c.1990) is on a different site from the cottage; it has no connection with the historical Edgiford except the name.

88 Farrier’s Cottage (see map 7), which may well be named after this Agnes Farrier. Stone Moor was a tract of moorland belonging to Stone Barton that was converted into fields and plantations in the 1840s. 89 Wixon Farm (see map 13). Until the early-nineteenth century there was a hamlet of three farms here—Higher Wixon, Lower Wixon and Clark’s—each with its own farmhouse. The present Wixon House, although greatly extended in the nineteenth century, contains the sixteenth-century farmhouse of Lower Wixon. An estate map of c.1800 shows the fields and buildings much as they had been in 1711 (North Devon Record Office B229/box 14). By 1841 the three farms had been combined into one and the extensive Wixon Moor (see map 15) had been divided into fields, some of which belonged to a new farm named Waterloo. 90 See folio M31 for information about ‘the Common Wood’.

99 The description implies that this orchard was at grid reference SS710170 but it is not marked on any later maps. 100 ‘Bearers’ is Beara Farm (see map 16). 101 ‘Mr Chance’s free Land’ is Bunson Farm. 102 ‘Measbury Moor’, although described as ‘inclosed’ seems to have been enclosed only in two large parts in 1711 (see map 15). It was divided into smaller fields in the nineteenth century.

[M30.8] Francis Lightfoot, a little House at Chulmleigh Hill Head107 containing one Ground room & Chamber over which the said Lightfoot detains pretending it to be Mr Bury’s Land and that he hath a Lease from him, but this was built on the Waste by one Wilson who had a Demise thereof about the year 1651 & paid 1 Shilling per Ann & about the year 1700 fell into hand – and Mr East who formerly owned it had agreed to take a Lease thereof till Lightfoot got into Possession and refuseth to take a Lease or Pay Rent [value per annum] 10s 0d

103 ‘Whidden Moor’ and ‘Billy Court Moor’ (i.e. Bealy Court Moor) were on the south side of the road between Little Sheepsbyre and Bealy Court Cross (see map 17). 104 ‘Exon Road’ is Egypt Lane (the road to Exeter) and either M30.1 or M30.3 may be Egypt Cottage which was built around the time of the survey. The other cottage might be the predecessor of Rook Park (but see M17.2). 105 This cottage was probably at the place formerly called Great Shute at the far end of East Street (see map 4). The last houses at this location were demolished after World War II and it is now a lay-by. 106 ‘Back Lane’ here means part of New Street. 107 That is, at the head of Chulmleigh Hill, presumably in Windy Cross Street or the eastern end of Fore Street.

[M30.9] There is likewise 2 feet of Ground taken from the Highway on the South Side leading to Chulmleigh Bridge it’s done lately by said Francis Lightfoot [no value given]

Robert Yeoland has right of Cutting under Wood Birch Withey Alloe Mooting up Stowles and feeding the Herbage after the Wood is Cut within 16 feet & ½ of the Hedge of the Eastermost and Westermost Woods.

Richard Webber of Wixon has the same Privilege of Mooting and Cutting in all Three Woods as Robert Yeoland but has only the Pasture of the Middle Wood.

All those Tenants oweth Suit to the Mill.

[Folio M32] The Names of the Tenants concern’d in the repairation of the half of Casham Bridge over the River Tow and a small Bridge called Denham Bridge leading to the said Casham Bridge.111

John Webber of Bycote Robert Yeoland of Higher Wixon Anthony Webber of Lower Dodyard George Mathers of Challacombe William Buckingham of Higher Dodyard Francis Lawrence of Chulmleigh Richard Webber of Wixon Thomas Pridham of Lower Wixon George Pasmore of Sydham

108 The ‘Common Wood’ is Wixon Wood (see map 13). 109 Alder. 110 ‘Mooting up Stowles’ perhaps means digging out old coppice stools for firewood. 111 ‘Casham Bridge’ is Kersham Bridge, the bridge over the River Taw near Bridge Reeve (see map 2), which is on the parish boundary (hence, only half the bridge was Chulmleigh’s responsibility). According to Dean Milles’s enquiries in c.1750 (Bodleian Library, and on microfilm in the Westcountry Studies Library, Exeter), the bridge was built of timber. ‘Denham Bridge’ might have been over a ditch at grid reference SS665137 (see M4.4).

112 Freeholders were relatively unencumbered by the customs of the manor. In particular, they could sell their land as they wished without reference to the manorial court. Quit rent was an additional rent that released the freeholder from manorial services. The fixed rents of freehold properties took no account of inflation, so if a property had been freehold for a very long time its rent was only a trifling amount by 1711. (There are several minor place-names on folios M36, M37 and M38 that I have not been able to identify.) 113 The Bury family occupied Colleton Barton from about 1380 until 1804. Colleton was a manor in its own right, yet it still paid rent to the manor of Chulmleigh out of which it had been created. 114 ‘Benleigh’ is presumably Benley Farm. 115 Spittle Farm. 116 The other half of Huntacott Farm (see folio M22). 117 ‘Banstone’ is Bunson Farm. 118 Garland is West Garland Farm, not the present East Garland or Middle Garland which were Victorian creations. 119 Cadbury Farm. This was probably the Richard Baitson who was rector of Chulmleigh from 1593 to 1635. 120 Presumably Stone Barton.

The Parsonage and Preband Lands in the Mannor and Burrough of Chulmleigh Divonshire Surveyed MDCCXI123

[Folio P1] [On this page of the manuscript is a map entitled ‘The Preband Lands about Chulmleigh’. It shows Chulmleigh village (all buildings are shown pictorially, the church in detail), roads, selected fields, part of the river, Chulmleigh Bridge and a mill. A note reads: ‘All the Arable Lands are Stained. The Lands of Brookland are marked with a W. The Lands of ye Prebd of Pendalls, Lower Haynes and Deanes is marked with H. The Prebd of higher Haynes is marked with the letter A. All the Parsonage Lands are writt in the Grounds. The same Method by the Lats and Folio is to be observed in this as in the other Books.’124 The map shows the street-names ‘Easton Street’, ‘Goosham Street’, ‘Langand Lane’, ‘High Street’, ‘Windy Cross Street’, ‘Back Lane’, ‘Pound Street’, ‘Water Lane’ and ‘Moulton Street’. Roads outside the village are labelled ‘Road to Tiverton’, ‘Parke Mill Lane’, ‘Road to Exon’, ‘Road from Chawley Week’, ‘To Barnstable’ and ‘To South Moulton’. The field-names shown are ‘higher Mill Parke’, ‘Lower Mill Parkes’, ‘Broom Close’, ‘Rack Parke’, ‘higher Clayes’, ‘middle Clayes’, ‘lower Clayes’, ‘Moore Close’ (3 fields), ‘Long Close’, ‘Second Close’, ‘Bears Mead’, ‘Coppice Ground’, ‘Lotts Close’ and ‘Centry Hill’, all of which fields are also annotated with their acreages and with the letters ‘W’, ‘H’ or ‘A’. Other lands (not all field boundaries are mapped) are labelled either ‘free’ (i.e. freehold land) or ‘my Lds’ (my Lord’s, i.e. leasehold land). The map also names ‘The River Dart’ and ‘Chulmleigh Bridge’, and a long hedge to the east of the village is labelled ‘This formerly was the Parke Bounds’, referring to the medieval deer park.]

123 The title is written in a small diamond shape which is preserved on the front cover of the modern binding. 124 There are sixteen numbered horizontal lines across the map and the ‘Method by the Lat[itude]s and Folio’ means the use of those lines together with the folio numbers for giving map references. 125 This prebend consisted of Brookland Farm (see map 11) together with some fields on the hill between Chulmleigh and the Little Dart River, and a mill. Brookland was the only one of the five prebends that had a farmhouse, a remarkable three-storey stone and cob-walled house built in the seventeenth century. 126 The map on folio P1 shows this mill about 120 metres downstream from Chulmleigh Bridge (see map 4).

127 The lower parts of the value per acre and value per annum columns are missing from the manuscript but the total value per annum of the prebend is given in folio P3 as £52 13s 0d. 128 The holders of the prebends were entitled to receive tithes from certain properties in Chulmleigh parish. (Tithe was a tax on the produce of land which was normally paid to the rector.) The lists of tithe payers in the P document give the names of several properties not otherwise mentioned in the survey because they were either freehold or in other manors. 129 ‘Molland’ is West Molland Farm, not East Molland which is a Victorian creation. 130 ‘Bellycourts’ is Bealy Court Farm. Evidently there were three tenements here in 1711. 131 Thomas Lewis was rector of Chulmleigh from 1677 to 1726. 132 What is here called ‘East Weeke’ must be South Week, not the farm called East Week today, because according to the tithe apportionment of 1841 the latter farm paid tithes to the prebend of Pendalls and not to Brookland (see folio P5). It appears that there were four tenements at South Week in 1711. In 1841 there were two, called South Week and North Week. 133 This might have been a field at the bottom of Langley Lane (now occupied in part by Langley Gardens) which was named Alms Meadow in 1841.

This is as far as I can Learne what each now payes Yearly by Agreement, but they are like the Free holders much neglected and hard to finde out without a great deale of time to do it in

[Folio P4] [On this page of the manuscript is a map entitled ‘The Preband of Brookland’. This shows ‘Brookland House’ (with 5 buildings shown pictorially) and surrounding roads, fields, orchards, a wood and the ‘Burne Brook’. Field-names shown are ‘Priestsyards’ (4 fields), ‘The 9 ac.’, ‘Above Towne’, ‘Well Close’, ‘Furzey Hill’, ‘Lower and higher Broom Hills’, ‘Colly Close’, ‘Geo.

134 This convoluted paragraph seems to be referring to many of the properties in East Street, including the part that was then known as Goosham Street. ‘Parke Gate’ was presumably near where Channon’s Park house is today, where the road would have entered the deer park in the Middle Ages. 135 The phrase ‘above 50 years since’ implies before 1660. ‘Mr Baitson’ must be Christopher Baitson, rector of Chulmleigh from 1635 to 1677, or his father Richard who held the post before him. 136 This house was demolished before 1841 and its land was incorporated into the garden of what was then the new rectory. It would have been just to the east of the present-day entrance to the Chulmleigh Hill road. 137 Jewell’s tenement was beside the River Mole and was incorporated into Hill Head Farm before 1841. 138 Yeos Mills would have been near the confluence of the Mole and Taw rivers. There is still a Yeo Cottage nearby.

139 ‘West Weekes’ refers to the hamlet now consisting of East Week and West Week, which must have been four tenements in 1711. 140 The glebe land of the parish, which is now Parsonage Farm (see map 10). The present farmhouse is a Victorian building. Its predecessor was rebuilt in 1680 (as we are told by a glebe terrier of that year) and was officially the rectory of Chulmleigh until 1823, although often it was let to a tenant farmer and the rector lived outside the parish. In that year a new rectory was built at the top of Chulmleigh Hill (see P9.12 note). 141 ‘Bacon Moore’ is Beacon Moor, a tract of rough pasture which included the hilltop now called Chulmleigh Beacon (see map 10). It was made into fields in the 1840s (Devon Record Office QS/113A/54/1). There might have been a signalling beacon here in the Tudor period. 142 It is a pity that the surveyor did not list the names of all the properties that paid tithes to the rector. The tithe apportionment made in 1841 reveals that such a list would have included the names of most of the major farms in the parish: Beara, Benley, Bunson, Cadbury, Cutland, Colleton Barton, Coombe, Dartridge, Holland, Kempland,

[Folio P10] [On this page of the manuscript is a map entitled ‘Parsonage and Preband Lands’. This shows ‘Parsonage Howse’ (with 3 buildings shown pictorially) and roads, fields and an orchard to its west. One road is labelled ‘Parsonage Lane’ and a small building is shown at the side of another road. The fields are labelled ‘Parsonage’, ‘Lower Haynes’ or ‘Higher Haynes’ and acreages and the labels H and A are also shown (as in folio P1). Surrounding lands are annotated ‘Thurles Tenement’, ‘Bacon Moore belonging to the Parsonage’, ‘Digory Cocks Grounds’, ‘Mr Shepheards Purthams’ and ‘Mr Fosses Charnimores’.]

147 The house now called the Old Rectory was built in the field called Rack Park in 1823 and then rebuilt after a severe fire in 1868. ‘Exon Road’ is Egypt Lane which was the main road to Exeter before the Chulmleigh Hill road was made. 148 ‘Hammett’ is another possible reading of this unclear surname. In folio M10 the tenant of Thurle is stated to be Robert Cooke; did the farm change hands in 1711, or was William a subtenant? 149 See the note in folio P3.

41 6. Reconstructed maps The maps on the following pages have been redrawn in part from the original maps in the P document, and in part have been reconstructed from an analysis of the written information in the M document. See the accompanying paper151 for an explanation of how the maps were reconstructed and a discussion of their limitations. Map 1 is a small-scale summary map, and maps 2 to 17 are large-scale maps which collectively cover all the land that was surveyed in detail. An index to maps 2 to 17 is included on map 2, and a key to symbols is included in map 7. Land that was not described in the survey (including the manor’s freehold land) is shaded. Apart from the difference in scale which the larger page size allows, the maps in the present report differ from the maps in the paper in two respects only: they show a reference number for each field, and map 4 shows street-names in the village. The field numbers allow the reader to easily cross-reference the maps with the document texts in chapters 4 and 5.

Comparison with the tithe apportionment This chapter presents an attempt to identify the locations of the lands listed in the survey documents of 1711, by matching them with lands listed in the Chulmleigh parish tithe apportionment (TA) and shown on the tithe map of 1841.152 This analysis (together with the original maps in the P document) is the basis of the maps in chapter 6. In the case of the P document, comparison with the TA is straightforward because most of the lands listed in the P document are shown on the document’s maps and those maps can be compared directly with the tithe map. Identifying the lands in the M document is much more difficult because the document does not give us any maps, only written descriptions. Those descriptions were adequate for identifying the location of each property in the early-eighteenth century, but of course they are much harder to interpret today. The analysis that follows uses methods that are explained in detail in the accompanying paper.153 The arrangement of the following tables is as follows. The first column lists all the parcels of land in the M and P documents, using the reference numbers from chapters 4 and 5, together with field-names. The second column reproduces the acreages from those documents. The third column lists the reference numbers of parcels of land in the TA (i.e., the numbers marked on the tithe map) that are suggested to be equivalent to those in the first column. Field-names from the TA are given as well, but only if they are relevant to the identification. The fourth column gives the acreages of the lands in the third column according to the TA. The fifth column states the percentage difference between the acreages in the second and fourth columns.154 The percentage difference is positive if the measurement of 1841 is greater than that of 1711, negative if it is less, and zero if they are the same (to the nearest percentage point). If the identification is correct then one expects the percentage difference to be small, and explicable by inaccurate measure- ments in the original surveys. The sixth column contains remarks. Where several fields are listed together in the first column, it is suggested that they were all combined into one field between 1711 and 1841. In such cases, the acreage in the second column is the sum of the acreages stated for those fields in the M and P documents. Similarly, where several numbers are listed together in the third column, it is proposed that a single unit of land in the 1711 survey corresponds to several separately-numbered parcels of land on the tithe map. The fourth column, therefore, gives the sum of several acreages in the TA. More complicated rearrangements of fields (involving both destruction and construction of hedges, perhaps at different times) are suggested by listing multiple items in both the first and the third columns.

152 Documents now in The National Archives, London: IR29/9/109 and IR30/9/109; also in the Devon Record Office. The apportionment is dated 1840 and the map 1841. 153 M. Ebdon, op. cit., especially appendix B. 154 The percentage difference is (t – m)/m × 100% where t is the area according to the tithe apportionment and m is the area according to the M document (both converted to decimal acres).

‘Young’s Marshes’ (map 2). The four tenements listed on folio M4, together with fields M7.6–13 on folio M7, correspond to a single holding in the TA named Lee (owned and occupied by Richard Preston).

This tenement together with Higher Dartridge, Dartridge Wood and Dartridge Grounds are combined into a single holding named Dartridge in the TA (owned and occupied by Richard Preston). The overall boundary of Dartridge appears not to have changed between 1711 and 1841. Trixes Dartridge was the south-western part of the land.

‘Higher Dartridge’ (map 3). Another part of Dartridge in the TA, representing the eastern part of the Dartridge lands. The location of the house and farm buildings is not clear. It is possible that Trixes Dartridge and Higher Dartridge shared a single group of buildings that became the farmstead shown on the tithe map, but it is also possible that there were two distinct farmsteads in 1711, albeit probably close together, and that one was demolished before 1841. What is certainly the case is that the buildings had several orchards and small closes near them in 1711 (M5.1, M5.2, M5.9 and M5.13–17) and that by 1841 most of these had been combined into two large fields (2417 and 2427); this makes the analysis difficult and the mapping very speculative.

‘John Pasmore’s Grounds’ (map 3). We are told that this was near Marker’s Nine Acres (M6.16), which can be identified confidently with field 355 in the TA. It is suggested that M6.9 and M6.10 were on the other side of Back Lane, becoming three fields in the TA owned and occupied by John Davey. Generally, the writer of the M document used the word ‘against’ to mean ‘on the other side from’ (e.g. the other side of a road or a river), whereas he used ‘by’ or ‘joyning to’ to mean ‘next to’.

64 ‘Fordes’ (maps 8 and 9). This tenement corresponds to two holdings in the TA, namely Ford (owned and occupied by Samuel Wreford) and Dobb’s Moor (owned by John Brown, occupied by John Pope), the latter accounting for M9.22 only. Apart from the loss of Dobb’s Moor, the boundary of Ford Farm appears to have changed little, if at all, between 1711 and 1841, and several of the field-names are similar in the two surveys.

‘Charnamores’ (map 4).

Field 236 in the TA is a natural part of this block of land but it appears to be unaccounted for in the survey of 1711, being at that time part of ‘Sowdon’s free land’.

‘The South Cleeves’ (map 5). This land was in Chawleigh parish. The reference numbers in the third column of this table refer to the Chawleigh parish tithe map and TA; the latter names the Hon. Newton Fellowes as the landowner. A complication here is that the Chawleigh and Chulmleigh tithe maps disagree about the course of the parish boundary: the Chawleigh map shows it departing from the Little Dart River at two places to take in more than an acre of land on the north bank, numbering this ground 1372 and 1377, whereas the Chulmleigh map shows the boundary keeping to the river and numbers the same ground 413, 416, 417 and 418. Ordnance Survey maps up to the present day show the same boundary as the Chawleigh tithe map. The acreages in the M document weakly favour the interpretation that the land in question was considered part of the South Cleeves in 1711.

‘The Moiety of Hunticote’ (map 6). The two parts of this farm had been reunited by the time of the TA, at which time Huntacott was owned by Richard Preston and occupied by William Ford. The fields covered by the 1711 survey did not form a single block of land but were intermingled with fields that were not described, and this makes it impossible to identify most of them with any confidence.

‘Higher Wixon’ (map 13). This tenement together with Clark’s Tenement and Lower Wixon (folio M24) and the Common Wood (folio M31) were all combined into one farm called Wixon in the TA (owned by Richard Preston, occupied by James Preston), although by that time Wixon Moor (M23.21) had been enclosed and the northern part of it made into a separate farm named Waterloo (owned by Richard Preston, occupied by Peter Row). The Wixon estate map of c.1800 (North Devon Record Office B229/box 14) shows the three farmsteads, Wixon Moor before enclosure, and field boundaries that were generally more similar to those of 1711 than to those of 1841. It is unfortunate that the estate map lacks field-names and acreages as this would have increased confidence in the solution offered below.

‘Hole’ (map 12). Hole and Higher Dodyard are treated as one holding in the TA (owned by Richard Preston, occupied by Thomas Reed). It appears that some transfers of fields took place between Hole, Higher Dodyard, Lower Dodyard and Challacombe Farms between the two surveys. In addition, all of these farms had fields in Dodyard Moor (M25.14, M25.30, M26.18, M26.35) after its enclosure, as did Middle Bycott and Little Bycott (see M27). The Wixon estate map of c.1800 shows the extent of Dodyard Moor before it was enclosed, and it also tells us that Dodyard Moor and Wixon Moor were not divided from each other by a hedge until 1804. Prior to that date the boundary was a trackway, roughly on the line of the present lane north-east of Wixon Cottage.

M30.1 and M30.3 are both said to be ‘in Exon Road’ which favours their being 283 and 284, rather than 280a which is by the entrance to the road. All three properties are shown on the folio P1 map; Egypt Cottage is depicted as the smallest and the only one without a garden. A further complication is that the map shows another building, very small and perhaps not a dwelling, further down Egypt Lane on the west side. M30.2 Barnard Steare’s house – 271 On the folio P1 map.

82 Index of place-names This index lists the place-names that occur in the M and P documents. Names like ‘Ponfordes’, where it is not clear whether a place-name or a person was intended, are included both in this index and in the index of surnames. Field-names are not indexed (with a few exceptions, mainly near Chulmleigh village). Spellings are those used in the documents. If the same name occurs in the documents with more than one spelling, only one of the spellings is used in the index. Modern names are shown in brackets if they are different enough to be not easily recognizable. If a name occurs in several folios, the most informative one is indexed in bold type.

85 Index of surnames This index lists personal names that occur in the M and P documents. The index includes surnames that occur in the names of tenements and fields (for example, ‘Young’ in the place- name ‘Young’s Marshes’) although the people that such places were named after may have been long dead when the documents were written. Each name is indexed with the spelling used in the documents. Because spelling was not consistent, and also because a person’s christian name was sometimes stated and sometimes not, there may be two or more names in the index that refer to the same individual.
