    Previous page John Cocks; Early Years in Great Torrington 1783 - 1807 Grammar does all the Art and Knowledge teach, According to the Use of every Speech, How we our Thoughts most justly may express, In Words together join'd in Sentences. O wondrous Blessing! yet on Terms so cheap, That lowest Stations shall th' Advantage reap; The meanest Britons in this Prize may share Our Albion be what Rome and Athens were. An English Education! Glorious Prize! Fame claps her Wings, and sounds it to the Skies: Tells 'em, the suff'ring Muses are referr'd To be by Theirs and Britain's Guardians heard: Whose Judgement Awes at once, and Charms Mankind, Can silence Slander, and strike Envy blind. John Brightland's Grammar (8th Edition, 1759) Cock was a common surname in Devon, and John himself added an “s,” for reasons unknown. Our Cock family, from the seventeenth century, lived 200 miles away from London at St Giles in the Wood, in Devon. St Giles-in-the-Wood (so called to distinguish it from St. Giles-in-the-Heath, which lies on the borders of Cornwall) lies to the east of Great Torrington, in which the church of St. Giles was originally a chapel. The History and Topography of Devonshire, published in 1895 says; Considering the antiquity and early importance of Torrington, and the large number of important families resident in the neighbourhood, it may seem ... singular that Torrington should not have had a more prominent place in the national life ... Two causes ... contributed to this ... it lay in an isolated part of the country, outside the run of ordinary traffic; ..

The territory was divided into two parts, East and West Florida, governments were established, and set- tlers and investors soon invaded the new country. Also extensive and valuable land grants were awarded to many gentlemen of wealth and gentlemen with for- tune hunting or philanthropic motives. Lords Grenville, Egmont, Hawke, Templeton, the Marquis of Hastings, and Sir William Duncan, and Dr. Turnbull were among those securing land grants. A genuine “land rush” was made toward Florida. The Annual Register states: “His Majesty this day passed twenty grants of land in East Florida upon petitions of gentlemen of rank and fortune, who in- tended settling them immediately; and it is said that St.

  • BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE Brochure 2015
    BLACKPOOL MILL COTTAGE The 15th century cottage is situated in a beautiful valley, a stone’s throw away from a remote Atlantic cove. It sleeps 8 people but is equally suitable for 2. A private drive leading from Hartland Abbey through woodland, carpeted in snowdrops and bluebells in spring, quite suddenly opens out to reveal a view of the cliffs and the sea, with the cottage beside the Abbey stream. Its unique position makes it a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the natural surroundings, and escape from the pressures of modern living. It is a children’s paradise. In 2005 the cottage was the film location for Rosamunde Pilcher’s ‘The Shell Seekers’ with Vanessa Redgrave and Maximillian Schell. In May 2007 the BBC filmed Andrew Davies’s stunning adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility here, with Janet McTeer and Mark Williams leading a cast of Hattie Morahan, Charity Wakefield, Dan Stevens, David Morrisey and Dominic Cooper. The cottage starred as ‘Barton Cottage’, home to the Dashwood family when they fell on hard times. The beach, with its rock pools, sand at low tide and unique cliff formation is always interesting in all weathers and at low tide prawns, mussels, limpets, star fish, crabs, lobsters and fish are to be found in the pools which are also wonderful natural paddling pools for children. The sea is very clean and excellent for bathing and surfing, in the right conditions. In good weather evening barbecuing on the beach with the sun setting over the sea is magical. The only light to be seen is from the lighthouse on Lundy Island.
