Its pages range from topographical snippets to early Devon local biographies, forming a rich backdrop to the better-known narratives found in works such as the Victoria County History Devon. For family historians and a serious research tool for genealogists, this volume offers the kind of invaluable Devon genealogy resources family historians prize: fleeting references to families, farms, chapels, trades, and field-names that rarely appear elsewhere.
