Prepared by Michael Steer

The ancient Oxenham family resided in South Tawton from at least the time of Henry III, there occupying an eponymous manor. The most notable exemplar was Captain John Oxenham, a companion of Sir Francis Drake. An anonymous pamphlet appeared in London in 1642 with a title beginning A True Relation of an Apparition describing a peculiar circumstance that presaged the deaths in 1635 of four members of the Oxenham family living in the Devon village of Seal (later Zeal) Monachorum, a phenomenon subsequently referred to as the Oxenham omen.
