Cadell, 1822.Martinstow, now called Maristow, the site of the ancient chapel of St. Martin, belonged to the canons of Plympton. After the dissolution, it was granted (in 1544,) to the Champernownes, who in 1550, sold it to John Slanning, Esq., of Shaugh. Maristow, which is situated on the banks of the Tamer, is now the seat of Sir Masseh Manasseh Lopes, Bart., who purchased it, in 1798, of the co-heirs of the late John Modyford Heywood, Esq., the representative of the Slannings. On the 22d of August, 1789, their late Majesties, and three of the Princesses being then at Saltram, honoured Mr. Heywood with a visit at Maristow, and were so much delighted with the romantic scenery of the ground and woods, that they repeated their visit on the 24th, and spent many hours in admiring their diversified beauties.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
