From the time of Henry ll it was held by the Prouz / Prous family which was their seat . This elder branch became extinct in the reign of Edward II when the castle and manor passed with its heiress to the Mules family,

Old brick pillars adorned with acorns on a disused lane that runs parallel to the river Otter from Otterton village to Budleigh Salterton Devon.
if you read the first sign it says entering the Devon forest ...the other one says leaving the Devon forest ...a person could get lost there ! I think these were the only trees for miles !
Taken from Peak Hill, just outside Sidmouth in east Devon, we are looking towards the west across the Otter Valley. The farm in the foreground is at Pinn, while in the distance on the left can be seen the tower of St Michael's Church at Otterton.
Even the sheep are depressed...Do they shrink when they get wet?
Actually the 15th June and part of my rain-sodden two day journey down to my holiday in Dartmouth.
At this point I'm getting worried for my week on my own with no transport in an unknown town (although researched until the locals could have asked me directions), but the sky did brighten, and I think I had the first good weather of the year.
And I fell in love with Devon. If I wasn't a Yorkshireman and an honorary Oxfordian, I would definitely want to come from Devon.

This is St. Peter's Church in Berrynarbor, in North Devon. I've posted other photos from this sunset shoot, but this one lay idle because my wide-angle lens and the angle at which I shot this had noticeably distorted the church. I finally corrected the perspective distortion and I'm posting the result.
Immaculada is an OOAK Commission piece for a lovely lady down under. It is the perfect blend of Spring Summer (which you've already seen) and Fall Winter (Santita) collections. So it should be familiarity and anticipation of the unknown at the same time...

One of the hedgerow badgers. A family/Clan I've been following for a number of years. Mid Devon, UK. Photo - Kevin Keatley, Camera, Nikon D800, Nikon 105mm Macro, F13, 1/200 sec., ISO 320, Camera on manual and 4 off camera flashes on manual. Other Kit used - C26 fold out padded seat, 3 E5 Ground spikes with E13 mini ball heads, ideal for positioning flashes to get the right light. 1 x C22 Ultrapod II strapped to a branch for one of the flash guns. C80.1R camera and lens cover for weather and mud/dust protection. B30 camouflage, soft and quiet 'Hoody top', adds a bit of camouflage but also keeps the mozzies off my head and neck. Some peanuts to keep the badgers around the sett longer before they head of to forage.
Amtrak's Pennsylvanian #43 speeds down the tangent at Devon, Pennsylvania approaching Paoli, the first station stop west of 30th Street Station Philadelphia. The east and west Pennsylvanian are the only two regular diesel-electric powered trains on the former PRR Mainline between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. PRR electrified this route with AC propulsion starting in 1915. Although the track and trains are modern, the catenary structure and position light signals from the original project continue to do their job more than 100 years later.
Combeinteignhead is a village in Teignbridge, South Devon, England. It lies within the civil parish of Haccombe with Combe, between Newton Abbot and Shaldon, about half a mile (1 km) inland from the estuary of the River Teign.
Despite its locale closeness to the river, the name Combeinteignhead is not derived from it. In the Domesday Book the district contained thirteen manors which totalled an area of ten hides and the whole area was known as the "Ten Hide". This was later corrupted to Teignhead through the influence of the river name. The name of the nearby village of Stokeinteignhead has a similar derivation.
The village has two historic pubs: the Wild Goose Inn, originally called the Country House Inn, a 17th-century tavern in the centre of the village, and the Coombe Cellars Inn, right on the estuary of the River Teign. Coombe Cellars was an early base for the local fishing industry and was also used by smugglers.
Church of St Mary the Virgin, Bickington Devon
Standing near to the fast main road from Plymouth to Exeter, it is sadly kept locked to protect it from thieves who find a quick get-away with stolen property down the valley.
It consists of nave, chancel, north aisle, west tower and south porch; vestry at east end of north aisle and boiler house at west end.
The present building was begun in 15c with north aisle added in early 16c . However the tower is earlier than this.
14c windows have been reused from the previous church in the tower and nave & chancel south walls. .
All thoroughly restored in 1883-4 when the south wall, south porch, and east and west gables of north aisle were rebuilt. The architects being Ewan Christian of London for the chancel and Robert Medley Fulford of Exeter for the remainder using Devonian limestone, with granite detail for the medieval work and Ham Hill stone for the added 1883-4 detail.
The tapered 2-stage tower has a five -sided stair turret with slit windows on the south. It is finished with a stringcourse and crenellated parapet; pinnacle on each corner renewed in 1883-4.
Inside on the north wall of north aisle is a painted red and black panel flanked with C-scrolls, probably of late C17 or early C18, inscribed:"How amiable are thy tabernacles, 0 Lord of hosts. My soul longeth yea even fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. Psalm 84.1.2"
The nave, chancel and north aisle have wagon roofs of
probably early 16c , much restored in 1883-4; www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/0N9xEnK1X2
The chancel roof is said to have been wholly rebuilt. The roofs have moulded ribs with carved bosses at
the intersections. Nave and chancel have cornices of intertwined vine leaves, against which are set angels, holding shields, one at the foot of each arch-brace. In the chancel the angels' wings are unfurled, while at the west end of the nave one angel on each side seems to be on the point of unfurling his wings. The north aisle has part of a similar cornice at the west end, but without angels.
The octagonal granite font is probably late 15c / early 16c with plain plinth, shaft and bowl, -topped with a 17c wooden cover , sides carved with fruit, serpents and winged cherub-heads; this was restored in 1883-4 by Harry Hems of Exeter who also carved the chancel stalls, altar table, lectern and credence table. The stalls incorporate 6 old linenfold panels.
Monuments: on east wall of chancel, to right of window, a stone tablet of 1689, surrounded by C-scrolls and with a coat-of-arms on top; traces of red, black and gold paint.
There are several good 17c tomb slabs on floor of chancel and north aisle.
