The ParishThe parish of Stockleigh Pomeroy lies in central Devon about 3 miles northeast of the market town of Crediton. Stockleigh Pomeroy is a small village which sits a few yards south of the A3072 road which connects Crediton with Tiverton. Stockleigh Pomeroy is small with no facilities remaining as its holds a tiny population today and was ever a relatively small place. The local economy would have been underpinned by pastoral farming at the time of this transcript and whilst some arable has spread in, with the use of modern machinery, this still dominates. Small streams drain the parish into the nearby River Creedy which heads southwards joining the Exe to the northwest of Exeter and thence to the English Channel through the Exe Estuary. Stockleigh Pomeroy is sited at around 90 metres above the sea and sits at the foot of a small isolated outcrop, the Raddon Hills, which rise to around 230 metres and sit southeast of the parish. By Devon standards Stockleigh Pomeroy parish was rather small, covering just 1,300 acres it would have supported around 250 parishioners. In Domesday times Stockleigh Pomeroy was held by Ralph de Pomeroy and was, even then, a small place offering just 6 ploughs as well as the usual meadows, pastures and woodland. |
