Ashwater is a village and parish in the Torridge district. It is close to the Cornish border and is about 10 miles north of Launceston. Its church is thirteenth century, with fifteenth-century windows, with an arcade that mixes the two periods. The decorated font is Norman, described by Arthur Mee as "a great treasure". This paper, read at the Association's 1888 Exeter meeting attempts to shed light on a dispute about the actual location of an "Ashwater" mentioned in several medieval documents.
