  • 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.

    The view from Down St Mary 780 to 2014 DSM timeline © Roger Steer 780 The Saxons reach the Tamar. During the period of the Saxons, the natural forests of Devon are gradually cleared and most of the villages and settlements we take for granted in the countryside are established. 905 Bishop Putta is murdered – some say at the spot where Copplestone cross stands. 909 Diocese of Crediton created. 934-53 Bishop Ethelgar collects funds for the building of St Mary’s Minster at Crediton. 974 Copplestone Cross, at the junction of Down St Mary with two other parishes until 1992, is mentioned in a charter, but is much older than that. It is early Celtic interlaced work such as is not found elsewhere in England except in Northumbria. The cross gives a name to a once noted Devon family which comes in the local rhyme: Crocker, Cruwys, and Coplestone, When the Conqueror came were found at home. Eleventh Century 1018 Buckfast Abbey is founded under the patronage of King Canute. 1040 The Manor of Down(e) named after the Saxon settlement DUN meaning Hill, first recorded as being the gift of King Harthacnut. (Harthacnut was king of Denmark from 1028 to 1042 and of England from 1040 to 1042. Some of the glebe land in the manor originally formed part of the Devon estates of Harthacnut’s father, Canute, king of England 1016-35.) Tenure is granted to Aelfwein, Abbot of Buckfast in support of the ministry of the Abbey Church. Down St Mary is one of six Devon churches held by the Abbot of Buckfast prior to the Norman conquest, the others being Churchstow, Petrockstow, South Brent, Trusham and Zeal Monachorum.
