On the lignite formation of Bovey Tracey, Devonshire
by
William Pengelly and Oswald Heer
London: Philosophical Transactions, Part II (1862), 106pp.
Prepared by Michael Steer
Bovey physician, Dr J.G. Croker in 1856 first described the physical features of the basin, surrounding the junction of the Teign and Bovey Rivers, in which are found large beds of lignite and their associated clays (used in pottery). His study was followed by that of Dr William Pengelly of Torquay and his colleague, the Rev Dr Oswald Heer of Zurich. The Bovey Formation is the major source in England for ball clay, which is of great importance to the pottery industry. Large excavations have been made for the extraction of these clays. The lignite or "Bovey Coal" was in the past burned in local kilns, and in steam engines and workmen's cottages, but it was not economical. Robert Sture, ancestor of Bovey's long-settled Steer family is described as a "collyor" in a 1541 Deed of Sale held at the Devon Records Office. Pengelly and Heer's book contains a fascinating catalogue with illustrations of the remarkable fossil plant life they discovered and catalogued in the Bovey Basin.
