Trans. Devon. Assoc. vol. XXXII, (1900), pp. 289-295.

George M. Doe

Prepared by Michael Steer

The paper was presented at the Association’s August 1900 Totnes meeting. The Church Guide to the parish of St Michael and All Angels, and within it, the Chapel of St Mary Magdalen, Taddiport, provides an excellent illustrated history of the care and treatment of leprosy in this part of North Devon. It is believed that leprosy (the term might have covered various skin diseases as well as eastern leprosy) was brought to England by returned Crusaders, It might also have been caused (as in modern Scandinavia) by the excessive use of salt meat and no vegetables.
