  • Here It Became Obvious That Hollacombe Crediton and Not Hollacombe Winkleigh Was Implied and Quite a Different Proposition

    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.

  • Walks Around Winkleigh

    Walks Around Winkleigh

    Walks Around Winkleigh WINKLEIGH Winkleigh is among a group of large villages or small towns situated on the higher points of the mid-Devon plateau, Winkleigh being about 550 ft above sea level. Its large hilltop church can command huge prospects. It lies on the watershed between Taw and Torridge, with the north part of the vi1lage draining to the Torridge and the rest to the Taw. Like most Saxon foundations, Winkleigh was probab1y in existence by 800 AD, a group of farmers coming together for defence, and for the sharing of equipment. It probably had an open-field farming arrangement, but all evidence has long since gone. Winkleigh was, and is, an ‘open’ village, that is there was not a single squire family who owned the whole place and more or less determined what went on. The situation of having two Norman castle mounds belonging to separate families was never resolved. In many cases a squire gave permission for a regular weekly market, which made it a town, but Winkleigh remains a village though with an annual Fair now over 750 years old. Typically its population reached a peak at the 1851 census of 1,554 declining with the agricultural depression to 881 in 1931, before rising again to its current figure of about 1,600 with new commuter housing. One major reason for decline was that the railway followed the Taw valley and not the old stage roads. In Kelly’s Directory for 1902 there were four major landowners including the earl of Portsmouth and at least 25 separate trades are mentioned, including expected rural businesses, such as the miller and wheelwright, but also dressmakers, photographers, earthenware dealer and watchsmith.

  • Chairman's Message

    Chairman's Message

    2011 No. 1 February Reg. Charity No.228966 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE It is with regret that I have to announce that two of our long standing volunteers have resigned. Peter Reay and Ian Farrell between them have served the Society for over twenty-five years. Peter has been editing the Devon Bird Report from 1999 and wrote a section prior to that year. His keenness to ensure accuracy with each report is a testament to him. I worked closely with Peter for six years whilst County Recorder and I know the loss of his service to the Society will be greatly missed. Ian, will be known to members in recent years as our webmaster a job which he performs with enthusiasm and dedication. I first met Ian when acting as legal advisor to the Society on the wording of its new constitution when I first noticed his commitment, business acumen and a keenness to get the job done, a style he showed throughout his service as a trustee on Council, as Chairman of the Publishing Group and right up to present as Vice Chairman. On behalf of the Society I would like to thank both Peter and Ian for their service to the Society and wish them the very best for the future. Whilst Chairman I have set myself various tasks, last year it was the completion of the Birds of Devon book and ensuring the preparation of the Devon Tetrad Atlas was on a sound footing, both thankfully were achieved. This year my task is probably more difficult in that I will attempt to find volunteers to fill vacancies on Council and other posts that are vacant.

    DEVON AREA GROUP REPORTS 2019 Devon Bootlegs East Devon

    DEVON AREA GROUP REPORTS 2019 Devon Bootlegs Devon Bootlegs has maintained good membership numbers over the last 12 months and indeed, continues to attract new walkers of all ages. We offer a strong and varied walks programme with walks every Sunday and when time allows, on Saturdays too. There was also a very successful adventure to Lundy earlier this year which all participants thoroughly enjoyed. In addition to regular walks, we continue to organise a variety of social events including cinema evenings, walks planning meetings and an annual Christmas party. Jenna Chynoweth East Devon We are the largest of the Devon Groups with nearly one fifth of Devon’s membership, reflecting in part our geographic size and population. Membership held up consistently in 2019, remarkably staying within 10 of an average level of 476 members throughout the year, and close to our historic peak. Most of all, our members appear to value our extensive programme of led walks. We are very pleased that this year we have been able to expand our programme to its greatest-ever extent. We offered, for the first time, two led walks on each of our regular walk days of Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. With additional walks outside this regular pattern, this amounted to some 330 walks per year. We know that this level of provision is an attraction not only to Ramblers resident in our area, but also to many outside. This has only been possible with a very enthusiastic walks programme team and a willingness of around 120 of our members to be leaders.
