Chivelstone Church Chivelstone Church KEU3A LHG meeting 18 September 2013 Introduction Dedicated to St Sylvester, a Pope 312-325, though the earliest record of the dedication was as late as 1742. This is a sister church to St Martins of Sherford and both founded by Stokenham Church soon after it was built, (1431). This latter was first dedicated to St Humbert, then St Barnabus and is now St Michael and all Angels. Unlike St Martins of Sherford, Chivelstone church remained a dependency of Stokenham, and through it, associated with the Priory of Totnes, and through the web of ecclesiastical feudal connections, with St Serge of Angers, Tywardeath in Cornwall and ultimately in 1495 with Bisham Abbey in Berkshire…. Chivelstone Church and Parish are a part of the Coleridge Hundred and as such was part of the original bequest to Judel by William the Conqueror. The Coleridge Hundred was composed of 20 parishes including Totnes and the outlying parishes of Ashprington and Thurlestone. (Despite what J. Goodman wrote in his book on Sherford it seems that the Hundreds of Coleridge and Chillington are the same. Heather Burwin in her book "the Coleridge Hundred and its Medieval Court" says that the Hundred Court was at Stokenham). The Stanborough Hundred covered other adjacent Parishes. It is recorded that Sir R.L Newman was the Lord of the Manor at Stokenham and there are memorials to him in the Chivelstone Church. The history of these three churches differs. St Martins (dedicated in1457), was involved in a gift by Gytha, daughter of King Canute, to St Olaves' in Exeter and from then, as St Olaves came under the aegis of William's newly established St Nicholas's Priory, it became one of the possessions of Battle Abbey (also built by William the Conqueror). In 1288 in the taxatio of Pope Nicholas, Chivelstone is recorded as belonging to Totnes Priory (1087). In 1678 with all the other churches in the Parish under Totnes Priory, it contributed to the rebuilding of St Paul's London. Totnes Priory was itself a dependency of the Priory of St Serge, Angers and a sister priory to one at Tyweardreath, Cornwall. In 1495 the patronage of Stokenham was ceded to the troubled Abbey of Bisham in Berkshire. The Abbey - originally Augustinian, under the Knights Templar by this time, acquired diverse church properties in various parts of England in the late 15th century, because of an accumulation of debts. Chivelstone, but not Sherford would have been involved in this.

Wikipedia and the Catholic Church online….give a lot on all these saints: St Jerome and St Ambrose were two of the 4 original doctors of the Church. St Jerome translated the Old Testament from the Hebrew and gave the church the “Vulgate” Bible. Called “the most learned of the Fathers of the Church”. Known for his bad temper. St James the Less was a the author of the first Catholic Epistle, Patron Saint of Hat Makers. Known as “the brother of Christ” because he was a close relative through his mother. Said to have witnessed the Resurrection. St James the Great was the son of Zebedee and an Apostle. An early martyr, his shrine is in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. He was also the brother of John, another of the 12 Apostles St Sylvester was Pope 312 -335. His name means “light of the earth”. He was involved with the council of Nicaea 325 which denounced the Arian heresy and he is said to have converted, and baptised Emperor Constantine and cured him of leprosy. His feast day is December 31st. St Humbert} – earlier dedications of the Stokenham Church. St Barnabas reputed founder of Greek Orthodox Church. Mentioned in St Paul’s epistles. St Barnabas} St Humbert was martyred by invading Danes in the time of St Edmund (C9) Thoughts and Questions What was the function of a church in the middle ages? It was a source of religious teaching and morality, it helped mark the passage of the seasons and a lifetime.. used for Christmas, Harvest etc for christenings, burials, the “churching” of new mothers...used for the administration of tithing - a tax, as a sanctuary in times of fighting/invasion and for fleeing criminals.Sometimes it was used to store illicit goods (as in the hidden brandy kegs in the tower of East Portlemouth church!). So, as there were no good roads as we know them connecting these small villages it seems sensible that a mother church like Stokenham should commission chapels to ease the population’s observance of these functions. 3 One wonders why Chivelstone was chosen as the site for a “sister” church? Unlike Sherford with its four manors, where the working population of the farms would have been numerous, Chivelstone seems only to have had the one large farm opposite the Church – as well as a few cottages. The population seems never to have been very large. In 1641 there were 116 adult males who signed a “Protestation Return” and a few years later 28 heads of households were able to contribute to the rebuilding of St Paul’s (1678)….. But it was a link with the coast where fishing, beach scavenging and the gathering of sea weed for irrigation for shells, fish and samphire which were additions to the food supply...., And shipwrecks and piracy would impinge on the lives of the inland populace. Chivelstone would seem to have been on a direct route to the sea from Chillington and Stokenham; the toll road towards Torcross didn't exist before the 19th century. Perhaps this was of importance on the choice of site? On the other hand there was the church of St Michael and St Cyriac - at nearby South Pool and at Prawle there was St Brendan's chapel…. But perhaps power or finance played a part as Chivelstone was not a church in its own right but, like Sherford a sister church of St Michaels at Stokenham. Both these “sister” churches had links with other eccleiasical foundations which were spread over different parts of England and even extended to the Abbey of St Serge, Angers. Such foundations were Totnes Priory, Bisham Abbey (Berkshire) and Tyweardreath in Cornwall. Acquisitions of churches were an extra source of revenue in feudal times. Often early churches were sited near to a previous holy site (as at Stokenham - where there had been a Holy Well (“Stoke” means holy place in Old English) or where a Saxon church had stood, "on a hill, near water, facing south" (See J. Goodman's book on "Sherford") Did the Chivelstone site offer these? Or was it near a convenient source of stone! In Sherford the cottage of the bailiff responsible for the collection of tithes due to St Nicholas' Priory, Exeter has been identified. Was there such a bailiff in Chivelstone? And also where was the Church House which provided space to practice hymn singing, or to take some refreshment after a long walk to church where sometimes accommodation was provided? I wonder if it could have been in the cottage adjacent to the church? This is called “the Seven Stars”, which according to the Kingsbridge Trailguide (!) was a name with religious connotations.

  • Mortimers in the 16Th Century Devon Tax Rolls in 1524, Henry VIII Raised
    Mortimers in the 16th century Devon Tax Rolls In 1524, Henry VIII raised a tax in attempt to fund the war with France. This was repeated again in 1543. These records are among the earliest accessible records of Mortimers in Devon and give us a glimpse of the prosperity and distribution of members of the Mortimer family during the first half of the 16th century. Overall, there were 25 men and women listed in 1524, having already spread to 16 parishes. 19 years later, they had absented from several of the aforementioned parishes but expanded to 19 parishes. The name has been standardised to Mortimer for internet search purposes. Little meaning was attached to the spellings of names in the 1500s and spelling varied widely.

  • Extreme Weather Resilience Report: Devon
    Extreme weather resilience report: Devon May 2014 Devon County Council County Hall Topsham Road Exeter Devon EX2 4QD 1 1. Introduction The succession of storm events across the three months from December 2013 through to February 2014, including the effect on the strategic rail network with the collapse of the sea wall at Dawlish on the South Devon coast, has yet again underlined the severe impact that extreme weather has on community resilience, transport, local government and the economy of the South West Peninsula. The Peninsula is southern Britain’s front-line for intense storms tracking across the Atlantic under the influence of the jet stream. Climate change projections warn that such events are likely to occur more frequently. This report focuses specifically on the impacts the weather has had on Devon. 2. Background and context There are approximately 13,000 kilometres of road in Devon, more than any other Local Authority area in the Country. This network is a vital part of the transport infrastructure of the County, enabling people, services and goods to move efficiently. The combined network of Trunk Roads, rail lines and County highways provides the strategic links both within Devon and between Devon and the rest of the country. The network is also vital in terms of the connectivity of Plymouth, Torbay and Cornwall. The local road network supports all of Devon’s rural communities providing their vital link to jobs, services and support to Devon’s rural economic activity. Severe flooding events, storm surges, coastal tidal issues and high winds were experienced in Devon and the wider South West peninsula during December, January and February of 2013-14.

  • The Devon Trafalgar Roll
    THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL Extracted from the Ayshford Complete Trafalgar Roll with the kind permission of Pamela and Derek Ayshford. Further details are available at www.ageofnelson.org/ Presented by the Exeter Flotilla on the occasion of the Trafalgar Day Service held on the bicentenary of the battle. INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL On the 19th October 1805 the combined fleet of France and Spain was observed to be sailing from Cadiz. News that the enemy fleet was at sea was relayed to the Commander in Chief of the British fleet, Vice Admiral Lord Nelson, and to intercept it his fleet sailed for the Straits of Gibraltar. On the eve of battle Nelson prayed: - May the great God, whom I worship, grant my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to him that made me, and may his blessings alight my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen. When the fleets met off Cape Trafalgar on the morning of the 21st the British formed two columns and, in light westerly airs, set an easterly course to close. The van was led by Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory and the rear column by Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood’s flagship HMS Royal Sovereign. The combined fleet of 33 sail of the line, commanded by Admiral Villeneuve in Bucentaure, wore round and reached back to the north.

Lulworth to yourself The shingle circle of Lulworth Cove and Algarve-like arch at Durdle Door were suering from overtourism long before anyone had heard of Dubrovnik, but if you’re staying at the Limestone you can probably have both to yourself. Slip out just before dawn, follow the lane south for a quarter of a mile, then take the path to the right across the fields just past the farm buildings. It takes you round the back of Hambury Tout to drop you, if you’ve timed it right, on Durdle’s doorstep just as the rising sun backlights the arch. Snap it, swim it and swan back to the Limestone for a full English. Later, follow Main Road south to Lulworth Cove. The day-trippers have mostly gone by 6pm. Details Two nights’ B&B from £240 (limestonehotel.co.uk) 2. Dartmoor art school Janet Brady spent 15 years designing for Burberry before becoming an art teacher. Peter Davies studied fine art, and in 2003 the pair opened the Brambles Art Retreat in a 17th-century cottage between the rivers Lyd and Thrushel, just west of Dartmoor. Oering instruction in everything from charcoal to oils, and providing all equipment, they take you to scenic locations on the moors and along the coast to hone your skills.
