Historical Description
Hartland Point, called by Ptolemy, Hercules' Promontory, and in Camden’s time, Herty Point, runs considerably into the sea, and forms the northwest corner of the county. Upon this cape is situated the small market-town of Hartland, which gives its name to the hundred. We have already mentioned that the country in this neighbourhood is particularly bleak and dreary.
The market is on Saturday, and is much frequented by the fishermen of Barnstaple, Bideford, and other adjacent towns on the coast, who come in their boats. The church is a large and handsome building, about a mile from the town, near the sea, and is to be seen at a considerable distance. The population of this parish, according to the return made under the late act, appears to amount to 1968 inhabitants, who are chiefly employed in agriculture.
Hartland-abbey, the seat of Mrs. Orchard, stands in a narrow vale, whose sloping sides are richly mantled with hanging woods; it is of modern erection, but occupies the site and includes the cloisters belonging to the ancient monastic building, which being quite perfect, are introduced as the basement story of the eastern and western fronts of the house.
Hartland-abbey is supposed to have been founded by Githa, wife of Earl Godwin, in honour of St. Nectan, through whose merits she believed her husband had escaped shipwreck in a dangerous tempest. Of the original building, the cloisters alone remain, and these form a part of the mansion erected by the present proprietor.
About four miles from Hartland, on the left of our road, is Clovelly-court, a handsome building, erected on the site of the former mansion, which was burnt down. The views from hence are extensive, and the grounds are in a state of great improvement.
HARTLAND (or Harton), by repute a prescriptive borough, is a small town and extensive parish, on the coast of Bude bay, 13 miles west-by-south from the Bideford station on the Torrington branch of the London and South Western railway, in the North Western division of the county, Hartland hundred, Bideford petty sessional division, union and county court district, rural deanery of Hartland, archdeaconry of Barnstaple and diocese of Exeter. The church of St. Nectan is a cruciform building of stone, in the Late Decorated and Perpendicular styles, consisting of chancel with north chape], nave, aisles, transepts, north and south porches, and an embattled western tower, 128 feet in height, with pinnacles and a Sun.-dial, and containing 6 bells, all recast in 1826; in 1886 one bell was again re-cast, and the whole re-hung: the tower serves as a landmark to mariners: the church retains a richly-carved rood-screen of the Early Perpendicular period, extending completely across the church, and in excellent condition; there are also good parclose screens, a stone altar table, a piscina and sedilia and on the north side a credence niche.: the Norman font is enriched with grotesquely-carved masks, and there is a Norman doorway on the north side of the church: in the church is an altar-tomb, with brass inscription, to Alice, wife of Thomas Docton esq. a benefactress to this parish, ob. 1619; the tomb also bears an impaled shield, with crest and mantling and texts of Scripture: there are other memorials to Nicholas Luttrell, ob. 1637: Paul Orchard, ob. 1740, and Rebecca Orchard, ob. 1765: in a room over the vestry are preserved portions of the old panelled pulpit, with the inscription “God Save King James”; and in the parvise of the north porch the old parish stocks are kept: the church was restored about 1850, when several stained windows were inserted at the expense of the late Lewis William Buck esq. the late Sir George S. Stucley bart. and the late Lady Elizabeth, his wife: there are 580 sittings. In the churchyard stands a cross, erected in May 1897, at the cost of the late Maj.-Gen. John Julius' Johnstone, from the designs of Messrs. Farmer and Brindley, of London, who also carried out the work: it consists of an octagonal shaft of Portland stone, raised on three steps, and surmounted by a square gabled head: the cross, including the base, is 15 feet in height, and is adorned with carvings and inscriptions. During the excavations for the foundation of the cross, a florin of Queen Elizabeth, a very early font, and an altar slab, bearing five crosses, were discovered. The register dates from the year 1558 and contains a reference in the Commonwealth period to William Morrice, afterwards knighted, and Secretary of State to Charles II. There are also churchwardens’ account books from the close of the 16th to the early part of the 18th century, containing curious details and a list of defensive weapons belonging to the church. The living is a vicarage, net yearly income £150, with residence and 4 acres of glebe, in the gift of and held since 1859 by the Rev. Thomas How Chope B.A. of Worcester College, Oxford. The impropriate tithes, amounting to about £400 yearly, are held by the Misses Yonge, of Rockbourne, Salisbury. St. John’s, a chapel of ease, built in 1839, on the site of the old town hall, consists of chancel, nave and a porch on the east side, over which there is a bell turret containing a clock and one bell: it was thoroughly restored in 1882, at a cost of £200, and has two stained windows: there are sittings for 300 persons. There are Wesleyan and Congregational chapels in the town; Wesleyan chapels at Meddon and Elmscott, and Bible Christian chapels at Hartland, Eddistone, and Harbour respectively. The church lands, given by Hugh Prust and John Dennis 27th of Oct. 1621 (18th James I.), produce about £60 annually, and are applied by trustees or feoffees towards the aiding, helping, supporting, amending, sustaining and maintaining the parish church of Stoke St. Nectan. There are also 4 almshouses for 8 aged widows, attached to which are lands, producing about £6 yearly for repairs. Paul Orchard esq. left by will £21 for coal and £10 a year for bread for the poor of Hartland. His nephew, the Rev. Thomas Hooper Morrison, also left £3 a year for coals for the poor. The town lands, through negligence, have greatly decreased in income; they once produced £60 yearly, but now only about £30; this sum, however, keeps the town pumps in repair, and also the clock. The lighting is done by voluntary subscription. Through the fault of former portreeves and officers, the charter and several documents have been lost, and many conventionary rents, through not having been collected, have lapsed and have been claimed as private property. The portreeve, burgesses and jury have been abolished, and in lieu of these, seven trustees (elected by ballot of the inhabitants) have been appointed under a scheme of the Charity Commissioners. An annual market for sheep and cattle is held here on the second Saturday in March; and fairs for cattle are held on Easter Wednesday and September 25th, and at the West Country Inn, also in this parish, on the first Wednesday in August and on the third Thursday in October. The Hartland and Clovelly Cottage Garden Society, established in 1857, has an exhibition here on the last Wednesday in July, annually.
Hartland Point, 4 miles from the town, is a fine, bold headland, rising about 350 feet above the level of the sea and forming the north-western extremity of the county; a portion of the headland, about 250 feet in length and generally 30 feet wide, forms a tolerably level plateau, the cliffs surrounding which descend abruptly for quite 300 feet. The view from the point, both seawards and inland, is magnificent: a lighthouse, standing at the foot of the point, was built in 1874, and the four-wick dioptric light, which may be seen for nearly 20 miles, gives two white flashes and one red flash every 30 seconds; two caloric engines blow a fog horn, which gives high and low blasts in quick succession for 2 ½ seconds every two minutes: here also is a signal station, with a 45 feet semaphore and a hut for the chief boatman in charge and three men; this and the lighthouse are connected by telephone to Hartland town. Arrangements are made with the Post Office Telegraph Department, by means of which casualties at sea can be reported by telegraph to owners of vessels and others from the lighthouse at Hartland. Near South Hole is the headland called “Henberry Beacon,” where are remains of a cliff castle, once consisting of well-fortified earthworks. The cliff walk passes under the semi-conical cap of St. Katherine’s Tor to Milford Beach, where a cascade descends in three successive waterfalls: the cliff at the Tor is gradually wasting away: upon the extreme summit were discovered remains of a Roman villa, which once stood at some distance from the edge; it is now separated from the mainland by a broad belt of turf, on which is built a massive and very ancient wall. John Moreman S.T.P. a very distinguished clergyman, was born at South Hole, in this parish, and educated at Exeter College, Oxford; he was admitted rector of the church of Holy Trinity, Exeter, 26 Sept. 1528, and on 19 June, 1544, was collated to a canonry in Exeter cathedral.
The abbey of Hartland or Hertland was founded in the reign of Hen. II. by Geoffrey de Dinham as a house of Austin Canons in place of a college of secular canons established here in connection with the church of St. Nectan by Githa, sister of Sweyn, and mother of Harold II. The foundation was confirmed between 1157 and 1184 by Bartholomew, Bishop of Exeter, and the Dinhams and their representatives continued to be patrons of the abbey up to the time of its surrender by Thomas Pope, 16th abbot, 21 Feb. 1539; there were then six canons, and revenues estimated at £306. The site was granted 30 Jan. 1546—7, to William Abbott esq. sergeant of the king’s cellar, in whose family it remained till 1609, when it passed to the Luttrells: from this family it passed by marriage to Paul Orchard esq. on whose death, intestate, in 1740, it descended to his only son, Paul Orchard esq. and at his death, March 1st, 1812, it passed by his will to his nephew, the Rev. Thomas Hooper Morrison, of Yeo Vale, on whose death, without issue, December 19th, 1824, it became the property of the last-named Mr. Orchards’ great-nephew, Lewis William Buck esq. of Moreton, Bideford, M.P. for North Devon, whose only son, George Stucley Buck esq. afterwards the late Sir George Stucley Stucley bart, succeeded, and at his death it passed to his eldest son, Lieut.-Col. Sir W. L. S. Stucley bart. the present owner. There are two common seals, both circular, bearing the head of the patron saint, Nectan, and the tetters “Sigillum Nectani.” Hartland Abbey, the seat of Lt.-Col. Sir William Lewis Stucley Stucley bart. D.L., J.P. occupies the site of the abbey of Hartland, and is seated in a beautifully-wooded valley and surrounded by a park, which is well stocked with deer and traversed by a trout stream. The mansion, erected about 1779, incorporates in the right wing a portion of the abbey buildings; the hall, 72 feet in length, and the cloisters, at that time perfect and unaltered, were partially destroyed, but a portion of the cloisters was retained and included in the basement, and over one of the arches is an inscription in Lombardic characters, recording the rebuilding of the cloisters by Abbot John, of Exeter, 1308—29. During the alterations, the monument of a Knight Hospitaller, tombstones, tiles, and fragments of carved stone were met with. The drawing and dining rooms of the modern house are spacious panelled chambers adorned with frescoes, representing scenes in early Irish history and incidents in connection with the various families holding manorial rights here during the Middle Ages: the chimney pieces and doors are of magnificently-carved oak, and exhibit the family arms and crest with the motto “Bellement et Hardiment” on raised panels: the ceilings are richly painted. Galsham and Greenlake are now the property of Maj. J. M. Kirkwood, of Yeo Vale, Alwington, and Docton, once the seat of a family of that name, is now owned by the Rev. H. G. Morse M.A. and Captain A. H. Morse J.P. of Copdock, Suffolk. Lieut.-Col. Sir W. L. Stucley Stucley bart. is lord of the chief manor and of that of South Hole, and Martyn is lord of the manor of Stoke. The principal landowners are Sir W. L. S. Stucley bart. the Rev. T. H. Chope B.A. vicar, and Messrs. Joseph Hooper, James Lawrance Haynes, John Thompson Haynes, James Seymour Haynes, Henry Haynes, Peter Heard, of Plymonth, John Dennis, J. Berriman, R. P. Chope esq. the trustees of the late John Ching, Mr. James Colwill and F. J. Hext esq. of Tredethy, Cornwall, Mr. R. R. Heard, of Exeter, William Carter Pedler esq. of Higher Burstone, Zeal Monachorum, the Rev. Erisey John Porter B.A. of Morwenstowe, Cornwall, Michael Vine, Mrs. Hamlyn, of Clovelly Court, Miss Carter and Mrs. Prust. The soil and subsoil are extremely various; in the northern division of the parish the latter is chiefly of shelving rock, whilst in the southern division it is yellow clay. The chief crops are wheat, oats, barley and roots. Sheep and cattle are extensively bred in this parish. The area is 17,304 acres of land, 3 of water and 594 of foreshore; rateable value, £7,870; the population in 1901 was 1,621.
