Some notes on the vicars of Totnes since the Commonwealth

Trans. Devon. Assoc. vol. 32, (1900), pp. 454-459.

by

Thomas Cann Hughes

Prepared by Michael Steer

In 1523, according to a tax assessment, Totnes was the second richest town in Devon, and the sixteenth richest in England. The Parish & Priory Church of St. Mary was completed in 1450 and is at least the second church on the site, its predecessor being dedicated in 1259. The Priory attached to the church was dissolved in the sixteenth century and was a cell of a Benedictine Abbey in Angers, France. John Prince (1643-1723) the biographer was perhaps its best known vicar. His Worthies of Devon, a series of biographies of Devon-born notables covered the period before the Norman Conquest to his own era. He became the subject of a sexual scandal, the court records of which were made into a book in 2001 and a play in 2005.
