In the C16th ENGLAND had NO STANDING ARMY
& PRIOR the RESTORATION of the Monarchy in 1660 , there was only a tiny NAVY
Elizabeth I was expecting an invasion by the Spanish King, Phillip, widower of her sister Mary Tudor and persistent suitor for her hand in marriage.
In medieval times when a monarch needed an ARMY the Earls & Barons ,
with their private armies were required to muster additional men from the local population,
to act as archers and men at arms on the monarch's behalf .
In 1588 the ENGLISH NAVY comprised of just 34 ships of Royal Fleet , based at Plymouth , included
21 larger galleons & 163 other ships, 30 which only carried 12 guns each. These included 12 of the armed merchantmen owned by privateers such as Lord Howard , Sir John Hawkins & Sir Francis Drake.
The Spanish Fleet of the Armada of 141 ships , intent of Invading England , had 24 purpose-built warships,
44 armed merchantmen, 38 auxiliary vessels and 34 supply ships & some 50,000 men mustered & waiting on the French coast.

Preparations for the Spanish invasion in the West Country
The English ships were equipped & supplied by various local merchants and men of means .
A total of £5,973 was subscribed by men from Dartmouth, Totnes and the Hundred of Hey Tor, Stanborough, & Coleridge.
Dartmouth sent ships was sent to join the English fleet were the Roebuck, Crescent and Hart . Equipped by the merchants of the towns of Totnes & Dartmouth and the locality. Seamen were paid for 4 months from 1st May to the end of August.
6 shillings 8 pence a month which was raised by the intervention of Howard to 10 shillings when the Armada was defeated.
The English Navy consisted of flag ship of Lord Charles Howard of Effingham) the Ark Royal;
the Revenge under Sir Francis Drake, Vice Admiral of the Fleet having moved his flag from Elizabeth Bonaventure after the attack on Cadiz in 1587;
Elizabeth Bonaventure was commanded by George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland;

Whether any Pomeroys were involved is an unknown however the main armorial family, although no longer local barons were landed gentlemen & would have contribute, living as they did in the vicinity at Stoke Gabriel & Brixham, which is where, according to local history Sir Francis Drake witnessed the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
AJP - 1547 The barony was sold and the family went to Sandridge which was not a huge mansion. I suspect that after his term in the Fleet prison in 1552 Sir Thomas & his wife Joanna Edgecumbe, Lady Pomeroy may have lived quietly at Landscross, which is a tiny parish on the river Torridge , close to Weare Giffard and the Annery Estate -
This would allow the next generation , son Thomas and wife Honor and their growing family, to live at Sandridge free of public shame , in the family manor house near Stoke Gabriel
The Manor House at Landcross is no more but it originally belonged to Beaumonts, from whom it passed to Basset, then by marriage to Pomeroy then to Giffards & latterly to the Rolle family. The wife of son Thomas was Honor Rolle. whose mother was Margaret Ford , half sister to John Ford, husband of Mary Pomeroy Of Ingsdon .
The Muster Rolls suggest Thomas Pomeroy was in residence in Landcross; One is recorded at nearby Abbotsham and another at Landcross ; the fact that the Manor was owned by the Rolle family suggests they might well have lived there, possibly as a 'grace & favour tenants' - depends on the dates.

Incledon Hill in the parish of Georgeham, bu the connection is unclear ;
In 1319 the Incledon family purchased the estate of Buckland, adjoining their Braunton Estate and built the present Georgian Buckland House, 1/2 mile south-east of Incledon.

DOCUMENTS RE FEOFFEES OF ST. PETROX IN DEVON RECORD OFFICE, ref. 1163/F/.
The following are copies of summaries made by Ray Freeman in the Devon Record Office when researching for her books on the history of Dartmouth. There were dozens of indentures of leases and other documents, all numbered according to the DRO system, but not in date order.
Reproducing using the original number, make the story more intelligible & documents are chronologicall , putting deeds relating to the same property together in date order.
The earliest document found relating to the provision of water for the parish is dated (in Latin) Henricus Quinto - i.e. Henry V, who died in 1421. A typed translation dating from 1511 records the handing on of property to new Feoffees, and refers back to an earlier transfer of 1485.
From these early dates it can be seen that successive feoffees looked after much property in Southtown from the early 15C right up to the early 20C
feoffees to look after properties donated. [Illegible.] At end, date refers to Henricus Quinto, i.e. Henry V, died 1421. No earlier document has so far been discovered.
