Stoodleigh in the Tiverton Hundreds is a parish and small village situated approximately 4 miles south-east of the small market town of Bampton and 5 miles north-east of the ancient market town of Tiverton in Stoodleigh, Ivedn, Awliscombe in the Tiverton Hundreds. Settlement in the tiny village of Stoodleigh dates back to at least 1086 as it appears in the Domesday Book as Stodlei - in old English "leigh" meant a "a place at the wood or woodland clearing". Stoodleigh Manor was anciently held by the Fitzpayne, Anstill, Kelly, Carew, Brickdale and Fitzakerley families. In 1668, Elizabeth CAREW left a legacy of £400 to be used for the poor of Stoodleigh and Crowcombe in Somerset. Stoodleigh's church of St. Margaret's was built in the 15th century, although it contains a Norman font which might have come from an earlier church in the parish. Another within the parish of Stoodleigh is Quoit-at-Cross madeover from a 17th century farmhouse. The register of baptisms dates from the yeare 1603, marriages and burials, 1597.

Alverdiscott or Alscott parish includes the hamlets of Bullworthy and Stonecross, and gives name to a pleasant, scattered village extending from Bideford to Torrington and Barnstaple archdeaconry, Torrington rural deanery, and Fremington hundred. The manor formerly held by the Fleming, Bellew, and other families- this Webbery was anciently the seate of a family of its own name, and was successively held by the Lippincotts and Cutliffes.

In Tiverton hundreds, East Bradley appears in Domesday as Bradelie, the east held by Haimeric d'Arques in demesne and by Drogo from the Bishop of Coutances of West Bradleigh. In 1242 John le Despenser held a sixth of a fee in Hill and Ruckham, with one ferling of land in East Bradley from Roger Dacastre, who held it of the honor of Torrington and in 1284 Robert de Pyrrichworth held the sixth of a fee in Hill, Ruckham and Bradleigh as part of his quarter fee held from Richard de Poltimore. The remainder of this quarter fee was probably the twelfth of a fee which formed the manor of East Bradleigh, which was held by Richard de East Bradleigh fromthe heirs of the Hill family, who held it of the heirs of Richard de Poltimore. The strip of land continued to be held with Hill and Ruckham; the manor of East Bradleigh was still held in 1346 by the de East Bradleigh or Bradleigh family. It was still in the tenure of these three families in 1346.

In 1303 Yevedon was held by John Franceis, Thomas de la Pole and Robert Tracey. In 1381 John Franceis of Evadon made over his lands in Ridgeway in the tithing of Awliscombe to Richard Somaster. The monastic settlement founded in the sixth century took the name Doire Colmcille, after its founder St Colmcille (Columba, the founder of Iona) naming Derry from a saint. English and Scottish settlers constructed the walled city of Londonderry at the beginning of the seventeenth century on the instructions of James I. It also stood at the meeting place of the lands of the O'Donnell clan of Donegal and the Ó Neill clan of Tyrone. In 1162 Derry, a new abbey church, 240 feet long, was begun by the Augustinian Bishop Flaithbhertagh O'Brolchain (Bradley), and from then on the old church of St. Columb became known as the Black Church. In the thirteenth century Derry gained a Cistercian nunnery,

in 1274 a Dominican abbey, and at an unrecorded date a Franciscan friary. It was raided by local chiefs and the English. An edict in 1366 bans pure-blooded from becoming mayors, baillifs, officers of the king or clerygmen, serving the English. The Earl Bishopric of Derry is thought to derive from Suffolk. In the centre of many Ulster towns there is not a Square, such as you might find in England, but something that looks the same but is called a Diamond. Derry's diamond contains the city Cenotaph. The modern city preserves the 17th-century layout of four main streets radiating from the Diamond to four gateways - Bishop's Gate, Ferryquay Gate, Shipquay Gate and Butcher's Gate.The siege of Derry that began in 1688 was broken by English ships in August 1689. Among the common names of settlers in Derry county are Elliott, Campbell, Anderson, Baird, Thompson, McClintock, Hamilton, Browne, Barr, Stewart, Smith, Johnston, Irwin, Morrison, Young and White.

Ivedon Penn in Awliscombe parish in the Hemyock hundrend centered in a detached portion of Tiverton hundred in the middle ages. This Otri: one held by Warin from William Chievre, one by Ralph de Pomeroy in demesne, and one small holding by Rozelin from Ralph de Pomeroy. The fourth, held by Ralph fitz Payne was added to Awliscombe before 1086, until in the early 13th century it was the property of William de Ivedon, whose co-heiresses married Robert de Stanton, Richard de Membury and William de Tracey. In 1174 the manor of Lympstone and Barnstaple passed with Tracey's daughter Eva to William de Courtenay. The Stanton share was further divided among co-heiresses; the Membury family portion passed to the Pole family, and the Tracey family portion acquired the name Traceys Hayes, and passed succesively to the families of Mabbe, Chard and Lewis, who sold it to the Jenkins family.
