Trans. Devon. Assoc. vol. 8 (1876), pp. 360-369.
by
Edward Windeatt
Prepared by Michael Steer
The paper, presented at the Association's July 1876 Ashburton meeting focusses on turbulent times in Totnes. On 12 Dec. 1687, the corporation was ordered to replace Sir Edward Seymour as Recorder and elect the Papist Sir John Southcote; 33 refused to do so, two abstained and only four voted for compliance with the King's letter. This defiance was followed by a purge; three aldermen and 14 assistants were dismissed, and Richard Burthogge MD, one of James II's most valuable collaborators entered the corporation. Next month the mayor, seven aldermen and six assistants were removed. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
