Historical Sketch of the Parish of Chagford

Trans. Devon Assoc. vol. 8 (1876), pp. 62-81.

by

G. Wareing Ormerod

Prepared by Michael Steer

Ormerod's paper, presented at the Association's July 1876 Ashburton meeting provides a great deal of descriptive and factual information on the history of this small, but important moorland town. Archaeological remains confirm that a community has existed there for at least 4000 years. In historical times, Chagford grew due to the wool trade and from tin mining in the area, and in 1305 was made a stannary town where tin was traded. A cattle market in the town survived until the 1980s. In a Civil War skirmish Sydney Godolphin, the poet and Royalist MP for Helston, was shot and killed in the porch of the Three Crowns. The Appendix to the paper presents a list of the Rectors of Chagford from 1319 to 1852. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. The Internet Archive makes available, in its Community Texts Collection (originally known as Open Source Books), books that have been digitised by Google from a number of libraries. These are books on which copyright has expired, and are available free for educational and research use. This rare book was produced from a copy held by Princeton University Library, and is available from the Internet Archive.
