  • Dewdon Manor
    DEWDON MANOR Introduction. This revises and expands my previous notes (of 3rd & 10th Dec. 2006) by drawing on significantly more information, particularly that in Mrs. C. D. Lineham’s published work in the Transactions of the Devonshire Association. Dave Dingley Jan. 2007. References. Lyson brothers (writing in the early 1800s): “Deandon, in Widecombe parish, gave its name to an ancient family, from whom it passed by female heirs to the Malets in the reign of H.III. Sir John Malet K.B. sold it about 1600. In 1748 Rawline Mallock, Esq. purchased the royalty of Dutton – no doubt corrupted from Deandon – Malet, and Dunsdon, in this parish, which royalty is now the property of Rev. Roger Mallock of Cockington.” A good early summary! [M] : Mallock Cockington before the restoration. Late 19th C. [L] : Lineham TDA 94 “A forgotten manor in Widecombe-in-the-Moor”. 1962. [L2] : Lineham in TDA 95. [P] : Postan Medieval economy and society. [N] : A. Malet. 1885: Notes for “Sir John Malet/Sibylla de Ct Cleere”, extracted from Bob’s Mallett’s website (See Appendix I below for a translation & App. II for a commentary). [T] : Testa de Nevil, AD 1244 (ex Reichel’s “Hundred of Haytor” in TDA 40). [F] : Feudal Aids, AD 1284-86. [H] : Hoskins Old Devon. DB = Domesday Book. Extent and origin. Domesday makes it clear that a 1-virgate holding existed as a sub-manor of Cockington, stuck right away from the parent manor upon the fringe of the Moor. My previous notes outlined how this small piece of colonisation may have been as a result of pioneer peasants working under encouragement from their lord due to an increasing hunger for land.
