Village
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Newton And Noss
Newton and Noss is a civil parish in the South Hams district of Devon, England comprising the villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo and outlying hamlets such as Membland. The population of the parish taken at the 2011 census was 1,814. History In 847 AD, the Saxon King Æthelwulf created an estate for himself that stretched from the River Dart to the River Plym. In this estate there were many manors, one of which is Newton, belonging to Lord Emar. The first time that the name Newton was recorded in the naming of the Church of Newton in the Geld Roll of 1084. The Domesday Book listed Newton in 1086 as part of the holdings of the Valletorts of Trematon, across the Tamar, who handed it to the Ferrers family. Ralph Ferrers was established at Newton in 1160 and he is the one who has given the village the family name "Ferrers". There were sixteen villeins listed in the manor in the Domesday Book, the farmsteads of which are still recognizable today. By 1200 most of the bou ...

It is located on the south coast of Devon, approximately south-west of Exeter and south-west of London. It is bordered by Cornwall to the west and south-west.

St Peter's Church, Noss Mayo
St Peter's Church is a Church of England parish church in Noss Mayo, Devon, England. It was constructed in 1880–82 and designed by the London architect James Piers St Aubyn. St Peter's has been Grade II* listed since 1960. History St Peter's was built to replace the Church of St Peter the Poor Fisherman as parish church of Revelstoke. The existing church had become dilapidated and was at an inconvenient distance for many residents of Noss Mayo. Furthermore the chapel of ease of 1839 in the village was deemed too small to adequately serve the population as a parish church. Edward Baring, who purchased the estate of Membland in 1877, offered to construct a new church at his expense. The foundation stone was laid on 10 September 1880 by Mrs. Edward Baring in the presence of a large crowd of spectators. Some of the clergy members present included the rector of Revelstoke, Rev. H. Farwell Roe, Rev. Duke Yonge of Newton Ferrers and the Archdeacon of Totnes, Ven. Alfred Earle. N ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
