Explore a century of Devon and Cornwall history, with deep dives into local towns, churches, and notable families.

This issue of a long-running regional journal gathers archival notes, portraits, and scholarly commentary on places from Bradninch to Heavitree, plus the people who shaped them.

The pages frame a wide view of local life, from parish records and municipal lists to altar screens, heraldry, and the artists who left traces of the past in stone and glass. You’ll encounter careful notes on place names, medieval and early modern families, and the way historical evidence is interpreted by researchers.

Detailed histories of towns, parishes, and notable estates in Devon and Cornwall.
Lists of officeholders, parish incumbents, and biographical notes on local figures.
Discussion of church monuments, stained glass, and Renaissance woodwork.
Short essays on place names, genealogies, and archival sources.
