There does not, I believe, exist any document to prove, that there is a single estate in the county remaining in the possession of a descendant of any person who held it at the time of the Domesday survey; although it is not improbable that some of the ancient families, who, according to the custom of that period, took their names from the places of their residence (fn. n80), in the reign of King John, or that of Henry III., may have inherited their estates, in direct descent from the Ralphs, Rogers, Walters, and Williams, who were sub-tenants in the reign of William the Conqueror, under Baldwin the Sheriff, and other great Lords paramount.

The chief landed property of the county, was divided soon after the conquest into several great baronies, as Oakhampton, Plympton, Totnes, Barnstaple, Dartington, Braneys, or Bradninch, Bampton, Harberton, Berry, the Bishop of Exeter's, and the Abbot of Tavistock's barony.

The barony of Oakhampton belonged to Baldwin de Brioniis; Plympton, to Redvers, or Rivers, Earl of Devon; both centered in the Courtenays, and the lands were dispersed among the co-heirs of the last Earl of Devon. That of Totnes was dispersed after the forfeiture of Lord Zouch; but most of the estates passed by grant from Henry VII. to the Edgecumbes. Dartington, which had been originally in the Martins, and Barnstaple, which came to them by inheritance, passed to Lord Audley; and having been entailed on the crown, were dispersed under various grants; as were most of the lands of the bishopric, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Berry and Harberton, which belonged to the Pomeroys, were alienated about the time of Sir Thomas Pomeroy's attainder; a great part was purchased by the Seymour family. Torrington was dispersed among the co-heirs of Torrington at an early period. Bradninch was settled on the dukedom of Cornwall. Bampton descended to the Earls of Bath, but is not now in the possession of their representatives. The whole of the great barony of the Abbot of Tavistock, was granted to the ancestor of the Duke of Bedford, and by far the greater part is now his property, together with the lands belonging formerly to Dunkeswell Abbey, with others granted also to his ancestor. His Grace is one of the principal landholders in the county. Lord Rolle has the most extensive landed property, his estates consisting of the accumulation of various purchases made in, and since, the reign of Henry VIII., besides what has accrued by the marriage of heiresses. Sir John Rolle died seised of above forty manors in Devon, in 1706. The other great landholders, are Earl Fortescue, the Earl of Morley, Lord Clinton, whose estates, formerly belonging to another branch of the Rolles, and inherited with the barony of Clinton, have lately been confirmed to him by a decision of the House of Lords; the Honourable Newton Fellowes, Sir T. D. Acland, Bart., Sir Charles Bampfylde, Bart., Sir Henry Carew, Bart., and Sir M. M. Lopes, Bart. The estates of the latter have been acquired by recent purchases.

Footnotes

  • n1. Twenty-three of these manors had been ancient demesne of the crown, ad regnum pertinentes, as it is expressed in the Exeter Domesday. Eighteen of them had belonged to Bristric, son of Algar a Saxon noble, and were afterwards settled on Queen Matilda: on her death, in 1083, they had become vested in the crown. Misled by the title of these lands in the Exeter Domesday, we had supposed that they had still been in her hands at the time of the survey, and that, therefore, that survey was of a few years prior date to the Exchequer survey. On a further examination of the record, it appears, however, that she died before it was taken, and that the manors were then in the King's hands. Nineteen of the King's manors had belonged to Earl Harold; eight of them to Ghida, the Earl's mother, sister of Swein King of Denmark; four to Edith, Queen-consort of Edward the Confessor,; one had belonged to Asgar, a Saxon thane; and six to Earl Lewin, one of the sons of Earl Godwin.
  • n2. He was Chief Justiciary of England; and some time William the Conqueror's Lieutenant General.
  • n3. Seventy-three of these were held by Drogo, or Dru, a noble Norman, son of Walter de Ponz, and brother of Richard, ancestor of the noble family of Clifford, who seems to have had the largest possessions of any person in Devonshire. One of the others was held by the Bishop's niece.
  • n4. Hugh Earl of Chester.
  • n5. Robert Earl of Mortaine, half-brother to the Conqueror.
  • n6. Seventeen of these had belonged to Etmar Atre: seven to Ordulf Duke of Devon. Several of the Earl's manors were held under him, at the time of the survey, by Reginald de Valletort; four by Drogo; eleven by Alured, probably Alured de Ispania, who held some manors in capite.
  • n7. He was one of the sons of Gilbert Earl of Brion (who was murdered in Normandy). This Baldwin, who was one of the King's generals at the battle of Hastings, was called Baldwin de Molis, Baldwin de Brion, and Baldwin de Sap; and sometimes, at a later period, Baldwin de Exeter. He had the barony of Okehampton, which was his chief seat; and the castle of Exeter, which he had built at the King's command. Earl Gilbert was son of Godfrey Earl of Ewe, a natural son of Richard Duke of Normandy, the Conqueror's grandfather. It is probable, that Roger de Molis, who held some manors under this Baldwin, was his brother or son. Ralph de Pomerei, who had a large estate in capite, held some manors under Baldwin the Sheriff. Robert de Beaumont, brother probably of Roger de Beaumont, who was one of the Conqueror's generals at the battle of Hastings, held four manors under Baldwin; Rogo, or Rogus, whose posterity gave their name to Holcombe Rogus, held seven; Ralph de Bruer, ancestor most probaby of the Lords Brewer, held three manors under Baldwin.
  • n8. Nothing is known of this person but that he possessed the baronies of Totnes and Barnstaple; which intimates that he was a Norman, and high in the Conqueror's favour.
  • n9. Mohun; his principal estate was in Somersetshire.
  • n10. Son of Robert Earl of Ow, or Ewe, in Normandy. The lands of William de Owe, and the following persons, are entered in the Exeter survey, as the lands of free knights. Richard, son of Earl Gilbert, Roger de Busli, Ralph de Limesi, Ralph Paganel, Ralph de Felgeres, Aiulf, Osbern de Salciet, Girold the Chaplain, Ansger Girard, Morin, and Floher, (not mentioned in the Exchequer Domesday,) qu. ancestor of the Floyers? Ralph Paganel and some others are called thanes in the Exeter survey.
  • n11. A great baron, who had the seat of his barony at Bampton; his gand-daughter married William Paganel.
  • n12. His male descendants continued to possess lands in Dorsetshire till of late years; the last heir male died in 1774.
  • n13. Gilbert Earl of Brion; he was brother to Baldwin the Sheriff.
  • n14. A Norman baron, who was possessed of numerous manors, chiefly in the north of England; his chief seat was at Tickhill, in Yorkshire.
  • n15. Ancestor of the Damarells, who gave name to Milton Damarell, and Stoke Damarell: a branch of this family remained in Sir William Pole's time, but in a mean condition.
  • n16. Sir William Pole observed, that the family remained in the county in his time, although no longer possessed of the lands they held at the time of the survey. The present member for the county is its representative.
  • n17. Son of the Conqueror's sister.
  • n18. William Paganel, the last of this family, was summoned to parliament as a baron, in the reign of Edward II. Ralph Paganel was sheriff of Yorkshire.
  • n19. The ancestor of a baronial family, who had their seat at Berry Pomeroy, till the reign of Edward VI.
  • n20. Ancestor of a family who possessed Holcombe Burnell; improperly so called.
  • n21. Aiulf, who held lands in Dorsetshire, and who probably was the same person, is called the chamberlain.
  • n22. It is possible, that these persons might have been so called from holding, as many persons did, their lands by the render of a cross-bow. Archibalistarius might have been the chief bow-bearer. The descendants of some of these persons bore the name of Alabaster for some generations as a surname, and for their arms three cross-bows.
  • n23. Door-keeper.
  • n24. Usher.
  • n25. These priests are reckoned among the English thanes, in the Exeter Domesday. I suppose them to have been the secular priests of Bodmin, which were settled there before the foundation of the priory. See Leland.
  • n26. The higher thanes were supposed to have been nearly of the same degree as barons; these are called in the Exeter Domesday, English thanes.
  • n27. Mother of Earl Morcar.
  • n28. Widow of Brictric, in dower.
  • n29. Was an appendage to Raweberge.

Westcote makes the following sensible observations, in answer to those who have erroneously supposed, that where the name of the place and the person are the same, the family gave its name to the place. "I think good to give you this caveat by the way, once for all, that when you find gentlemen and the houses in name alike, you be not confident, as some are, to maintain, that the house took name of the man, but rather the contrary, the house to give denomination to the possessor; for who can well imagine, think, or believe, or can yield a reason, why a gentle tribe, or any man should be called Ashford, Greneville, Fulford, Northcote, and Westcote, with many other the like in this county, but from the place of their habitation, as de Ashford, or Vado Fraxini; de Greneville, Villa Virida, or Campo Virido; de Fulford, Vado Pleno, or as some, de Turpi Vado; de Northcote; and de Westcote, according to the site of their houses? On the other side, there are some, which, to distinguish the places, have the name of the owners attached, as Moore, of Moore Hayes; Rogus, of Holcombe Rogus, &c."
