The ParishThe parish of Satterleigh lies in the northern portion of central Devon roughly 4 miles southwest of the market town of South Molton. Satterleigh sits a half mile west of the B3226 road which links South Molton with the A377 (Barnstaple to Crediton) road. Satterleigh is a tiny place, a tiny hamlet in a tiny parish with just a farmstead gathered around the church and all sitting on a roughly made track on a hilltop west of the River Mole. Like most Devon parishes Satterleigh is a pastoral farming parish with dairy cattle a speciality. In addition a few cider trees support the nearby cider mill at Clapworthy. The Mole drains the parish southwards before meeting the Taw and turning back northwestwards to pass through Barnstaple to the Irish Sea through the combined Taw/Torridge Estuary. Satterleigh is sited at around 140 metres above the sea with land rising still higher northwest to top 173 metres at appropriately named Hightown. At just 515 acres Satterleigh was probably the smallest rural parish in its county, an acreage that supported merely around 50 parishioners. Even in Domesday times Satterleigh was a small place, it was retained by a Saxon survivor, a bowman named Godebold, and offered merely 2 ploughs backed by meadows, pasture & woodland. |
