"IDE, a neat and pleasant village, in a picturesque village, 2 miles S.S.W. of Exeter, has in its parish 795 souls, and 1408A. 3R. 17P. of fertile land, mostly the property of the Dean and Chapter of Exeter, who are lords of the manor, appropriators of the rectory, and patrons of the perpetual curacy, which was valued in 1831 at £180 per annum, and is now held by the Rev. J.J. Erle, LL.B., who has a neat thatched residence, and 2A. of glebe. The great tithes were commuted in 1840 for £180, and the small tithes for £170 per annum, The Church (St. Ida,) was rebuilt in 1834, at the cost of about £1300, and has 550 sittings, of which 300 are free. It is a neat cemented structure, with a tower and four bells. Those beautiful and romantic grounds called Fordlands, which are often visited by pleasure parties from Exeter, are in this parish, . . . They are the property of J.H.W. Abbott, Esq. Here is a school, partly supported by subscription; and the poor parishioners have two yearly rent-charges, viz., 20s. out of a field at Lower Whiddon, left by Peter Balle, in 1648; and £2. 12s., left by Wm. Smith, out of three houses at Exeter." [From White's Devonshire Directory (1850)]

Ide is a small village situated in a lushly green valley a mile and a half to the south-west of the city of Exeter. There is a long street of houses and buildings which run up a steep hill towards Haldon, a small area around the Green and the church, and lastly a small group of houses known as 'West Town'. Ide brook flows into a wide and shallow course, known as the Watersplash, as it enters the village flowing past the picturesque cottages of The College and the Huntsman Inn, on its way to the little Alphin river.

There are several historical studies of Devon and Exeter which touch lightly on the village of Ide, but the most comprehensive work is 'A History of the People and Parish of Ide', by Dr Donald Burnett (see below). This book covers many aspects of Ide, starting from its origins as the Marshall farm in pre-Saxon times, and ending with its struggle to survive after the loss of 82 men in the First World War. The book makes references to many Ideites, including photographs of many who died in WWI.
