Scope and Content
Dugdale, James. The new British traveller or modern panorama of England and Wales. Vol. 2. London: J. Robins & Co. 1819. pp.113-4.BUCKFASTLEIGH. - This is a considerable village, in the hundred of Stanborough, three miles south-west by south from Ashburton. It appears to have arisen from an abbey which was formerly established in the parish. Leland says it was founded by Ethelwardus, son of William Pomerai, during the reign of Henry the First, and was endowed with some revenues by Richard Banzan, rated at the Dissolution at 466l. 11s. 2d. Many of the houses, and a large manufactory, are built with materials from the ruins of the abbey, a few ivy-clad fragments of which are sill remaining.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
