  • DSM Dateline
    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.

  • Abbott of Hartland
    THE SQUIREARCHY by Richard Pearse Chope 1940 edition of Book of Hartland Country Squires are the Ornaments of the English Nation : Men of Good Heads and Sound Bodies !Sir Roger de Coverley (Addison). The Oxford English Dictionary defines ' Squirearchy' as the collective body of squires, landed proprietors, or country gentry, but a more exact definition would have been the collective body of squires or esquires, persons legally entitled to bear (heraldic) arms. Armorial bearings are, or should be, the outward and visible sign of the technical rank of ' gentility,' the lowest hereditary rank, and only persons able to prove legitimate descent from the grantee have any right to use them. In the 16th and 17th centuries heralds from the College of Arms made three official visits throughout the country at different times for the purpose of examining and enrolling arms and pedigrees, and determining which were valid. They visited Hartland in 1531, 1564, and 1620, and recorded the following six families of gentry: Abbott of Hartland and Luffincott, Cholwill of Lodisford (Lutsford), Docton of Docton, Luttrell, Prust of Gorven, and Velly of Hartland, to which may be added Stucley of Affeton,1 for a branch of that family was even then settled at Hartland. At later dates, Orchard, Wolferstan, and Buck (or Stucley) were armigerous families. ABBOTT OF HARTLAND Arms :—Sable a cross voided between four eagles displayed Crest.—A griffin sejant azure plattee, winged and beaked The first Abbott to settle at Hartland was William, one of three brothers who were apparently sons of another William, whose Christian name, however, is not certainly known.
