Prepared by Michael Steer

Great Torrington's parish church (St. Michael) was blown up in February 1646, while some 200 royalist prisoners lay inside after the defeat of Lord Hopton by Sir Thomas Fairfax. It was substantially rebuilt in 1651, but the whole building was drastically restored in 1864 and according to Hoskins (1954), has lost all its former character. The Church lost all its records in the fire of 1724. 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 the University of Michigan Library, and is available from the Internet Archive.
