Scope and Content
The antiquarian & topographical cabinet. London: W. Clark & J. Carpenter, 1808. Vol. IV.PALACE AT CHUDLEIGH, DEVON.The ruins at CHUDLEIGH carry with them but little greater consequence. The sketch comprises all that is now left of this once large structure; "which only remembereth," says Risdon, "what considerable possessions the bishops once had, and how little they now enjoy in the place; whose bounty had been great unto the town, purchasing for them a weekly market and two annual fairs." In the erection of a farmhouse, which in the name of Place marks its original destination, much of the materials have been employed; and the chapel in particular, after its desecration, having been constructed of marble, which is the stratum of the county, was sold to the neighbouring farmers, and burnt into lime. To the beauty of the surrounding scenery, consisting of woods and rocks, belonging to lord Clifford, every tourist has been a witness, and it is foreign to my purpose to dwell on.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
