On an estate called Holywell, in this parish, the property of George Barbor, Esq. is a circular mound, named the Castle, on what account is not known. The adjacent grounds are higher than the mount; therefore it could not have been a place of defence. It appears like an, ancient barrow. (337) Kentisbury is a rectory, in the patronage of the present incumbent, the Rev. Charles Sweet, who resides in the parsonage house. Kentisbury Barton is a large estate, and the property of Honry Beavis, Esq. of Barnstaple. (338) Trentisho. There are two manors within this parish: one belongs to J. P. Chichester, Esq. of Arling;on, and the other to Studdy, Esq. (339) Martinhoe. The greater part of this parish belongs to George Courtenay, Esq. of Molland, who is patron of the living. Croscombe, which formerly belonged to Chichester, is now the property of George Barbor, Esq. of Fremington. (340) Brendon. Sir Arthur Chichester, Bart, is lord of the manor, and patron of the living of Brendon. (341) Linton. The greater part of this parish belongs to John Lock, Esq. of Lymouth, who is proprietor of the large manor of Woolhanger, and also of Short's Manor. In this parish is the ViJley of Stones, which our tourists have so much admired, and which Dr. Maton describes in such animated terms, in his " Observations on the Western Counties," a work of great merit, to which we beg to refer the reader, for an interesting account of this singular scene, and for much more valuable nformation relative to Devonshire. (342) Countesbury. The land in this parish belongs chiefly to George Barbor, Esq. of Fremington, and the resident inhabitants. (253)...
