The History Of Colwell Wood And Cottage

Colwell Wood Cottage stands in a clearing in the heart of Colwell Wood, near Honiton in Devon. The rich history of this small and seemingly insignificant estate has been traced through nine centuries, from the Domesday Book to the present. Like many such estates, Colwell was frequently fragmented and put together again, so the story is a complex one. Generously illustrated and fully referenced, this volume is the fruit of decades of painstaking research. It will be of value to anyone interested in the history of Devon, but above all it demonstrates that no matter how small and apparently humble a piece of English property may be, dig deep and a rich and fascinating history will emerge.
