The book, presented in 1897 to its public after a lapse of nearly 300 years is the genealogical common-place book of Tristram Risdon Esq, author of the famous Chorographical Description or Survey of the County of Devon. The original is in MS form and held in the Cathedral Library at Exeter. This section of Risdon's Note Book covers the period from the Conquest to Edward IV and is the fifth section of the note book. It focuses reign by reign in the words of the author, on men of nobility, employment and worth that were born or had dwellings in Devonshire in those tymes.
