  • 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.

  • Copplestone Primary School Newsletter [email protected]
    Copplestone Primary School Newsletter [email protected] Edition 15 Friday 3rd May 2019 Message from Head of School: Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed the amazing weather over Easter and some well-deserved rest and relaxation. We came back to school with a bang – especially in Year 4, who enjoyed a wonderful residential trip and a range of outdoor activities. All of the children enjoyed it immensely and a huge thanks to Mrs Marshall for organising everything and to Ms Webber who accompanied us. We have taken a lot of photos but I found a couple of group ones to share in this newsletter so you can see how much fun we were all having. Red Class wowed us at their Crediton Schools Music event at the Great Hall, Exeter before the holidays. They played their instruments with skill and sang beautifully. We were all very proud of you! This week the last few children from Year 5 took part in their Bikeability training. They did very well, listening carefully to the instructions and learning how to ride safely on the roads. Thank you to the CPTA for three great events last term: Bunny Bouncing, Mother’s Day Shop and the Fish and Chip Quiz night. All were well supported and very enjoyable, raising funds for the school so we can enhance the children’s curriculum and learning. The uniform samples have now been finalised and further information about this will be coming out soon in a letter. Many thanks for all the many feedback comments we had from children, parents and staff.

  • 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.

  • The Story of Axminster Carpets
    Magic Carpets – the Axminster story Magic Carpets-the Axminster story Introduction Up until the 18th century Age of Elegance, few people in this country would have set foot on a carpet. The fl oors of the homes of this Isle would have been made of beaten earth covered in rushes or straw threshings, fl agstones or wood. As late as 1751, a carpet was described as “a sort of covering to be spread on a table, trunk, an estrade (dais), or even a passage or fl oor”. In Scotland, in the latter part of the 18th century, a fl at reversible double-woollen fl oor cloth was becoming popular as a means of rendering the houses comfortable and as “a security against stone buildings, stone staircases and a cold climate”. “Kidderminster stuffs”, initially used as table cloths, were adapted in 1735 as a coarse double-weave cloth for fl ooring, but it was not until the middle of the 18th century that the glorious hand-knotted seamless carpets were born in the market town of Axminster and spread on the fl oors of palaces and country homes of Great Britain and beyond. The inventor of Axminster Carpets was a local man – Thomas Whitty – and it is his story and that of the second great weaver of Axminster, Harry Dutfi eld, which this booklet seeks to record.
