Formal inspections were known as 'Musters'. As with other guides in the series, the primary aim is to provide precise information on the survival and location on comprehensive or extensive lists of personal names which may be of use in family historical research. The records listed in this ISBN 978 1 906280 42 0 £5.25 £8.60 £7.60 Guide, are of the reconstructed Militia from 1757 on, and various others engendered by the Napoleonic Wars between 1797 and 1815. Parishes were liable to provide a small number of men for training , but these were initially chosen from most able‐bodied men. Thus lists of all those eligible had to be drawn up from which the ballot was made, and where these survive (between 1757 and 1831), they provide a quasi census.

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.

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.

  • Our Plan’, a New Strategic Plan for West Devon

    Our Plan’, a New Strategic Plan for West Devon

    Shaping our communities to 2031 Regulation 19 Publication Version February 2015 West Devon - A Leading Rural Council Foreword Welcome to ‘Our Plan’, a new strategic plan for West Devon. Whilst the Core Strategy was a plan for future growth and development to take us from 2006 to 2026, since it was written planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and in conformity with this national policy. This new plan also has to cover a wider range of issues that go beyond traditional planning policy and it makes more sense to write a new plan rather than try and amend the existing ones. Therefore, ‘Our Plan’ will be the overarching strategic plan for the Borough of West Devon up to 2031. Developing a new plan is always challenging and it is often controversial with different sectors and individuals in our communities understandably seeing things from their own view point. However, we need to remember that we are planning for the communities of tomorrow not just for ourselves today. What we do now will have a significant impact on how people live their lives in West Devon in the future. Our biggest challenge is enabling growth and providing much needed homes and jobs whilst, at the same time, protecting the beautiful place that is West Devon - no mean feat as I’m sure you can appreciate. To do this we have gathered and considered evidence about local need and the views and comments shared by you and a wide range of partners during the process have helped us to shape a plan that we believe takes account of local needs and aspirations.

  • Northern Devon in the Domesday Book

    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.
