ASHBURTON & HOLNE
DNA connects the Pomeroys of Ingsdon Manor in Ilsington, the known cadet branch of the armorial family with Ashburton, Holne
and the Launceston area of Trewen & Lewannick in Cornwall

ASHBURTON's past prosperity was based on the tin mining of Dartmoor and the woollen industry with the river providing ample power for the many mills that once lined its banks.
Ashburton was one of the four Devon Stannary Towns
Tin & copper were mined on Dartmoor as far back as Roman times; the Stannary Towns were important centres for the trade of tin because all smelted tin had to be stamped before it was sold for use.
The process involved the weighing of ingots & assay their quality before they were stamped with the seal of the Duchy . This was carried out at only a few towns , in Devon there was Chagford, Tiverton and Ashburton, with Plympton included in 1328.
Ashburton was a Stannary Town as early as 1285 and its importance as the main Stannary Town of Dartmoor peaked in 1515 when nearly 40% of Devon's tin was sold through Ashburton. and , fdrom the C14th, the tin was shipped exclusively through Dartmouth
By the early 1700s the trade had all but died out but small amounts have been mined even up to comparatively recent times. The dual attributes of wool and tin helps the Stannary towns escape the worst effects of the economic downturn caused by the hundreds Year War (1337-1453).
In 16th century the little town market of Ashburton frequently sold over £10,000 of yarn and wool in one week.
The excellent Old Ashburton website has more here
Holne is not far from the source of the Dart;
The manor of Holne and Holne Chase appear to have been part of the barony of Barnstaple, and to have passed with Tawstock successively to the Audleys and to the Bourchiers (Lord Fitzwarren and Earls of Bath) which later belonged to Sir Bourchier Wrey, Bart., who had a hunting-seat Holne Park, there.
The manor of South Holne was given to the abbey of Buckfastleigh by Reginald de Valletort in the early part of the thirteenth century. It appears also that another manor of Holne was given them by Stephen Bauzun.
The church was appropriated to the abbey of Buckfastleigh: the great tithes in 19th c were vested in the Rev. Samuel Lane of Totnes with the crown as patron of the vicarage.
It was largely a poor agricultural community - as seen here and also here
Ashburton was for centuries a flourishing Stannary or tin town, as well as a very wealthy wool town It lies about 10 miles from Totnes, the wealthiest wool town in Devon in the C16th & C 17th
Situated on the slopes of Dartmoor some 14 miles inland from Dartmouth which for many centuries was one of the most important ports in this part of the Devon coast and though which the merchants and traders would have shipped their cargos of tin, copper, iron & wool
It is 3 miles from Buckfastleigh, close to Buckfast Abbey & monastery which was rebuilt in 19th Century
Ingsdon Manor is in Ilsington parish but Bickington village & its church are closer than Ilsington village. The estate lies on the south side of the ancient route between Plymouth to Exeter, 3 miles the north of Ashburton ;
Holne is about 4 miles way to the west a tiny village tucked under the lee of the moor in Dartmoor's wooded slopes.
John Ford in Ashburton, man of business and considerable influence who married the daughter of Hugh Pomeroy, gent, of Ingsdon was Portreeve in 1509 elected by the bishop of Exeter and he was also accountant for the Churchwardens between 1509 and 1532 his descendent
'Large quantities of shoes, made at Ashburton, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, are sent to Newfoundland.'

Warnstable connects to Granvilles
Edward Glanville was a key witness in a lawsuit in 1712. Walter Shipheard (of Pitleigh Farm and Warmstable and cousin to Jane Gruit, presumed mother of Edward's daughter in law) was involved. Warmstable was owned Walter Gruit. Not found but possibly in the neighbourhood of Furseleigh . The Fursleigh Mill stands isolated beside the road , a thriving hotel. Furskeigh Farm which had a weir is now St Boniface House ( Diocese of Plymouth)
In the will of Edward Glanvill of Mary Tavy in 1654 he mentions "Gruite's Rest".
There were several Gruite 's in the area. This is the 1st child of this marriage

Protestation Returns 1641
In 1641, the House of Commons ruled that every member should make an oath of allegiance to the King and to Parliament.
They then had to go back home to their own parish where any two of them were to require the same oath of allegiance from all males over the age of 18. The names of all who refused to make the oath were to be noted and assumed to be Catholics.
Devon Protestation Returns are set of amazing documents - something akin to a census even though no women or children are named. A transcription is available in the DRO in Exeter.
However in the Devon these documents are not complete. Some were never returned, some places had not yet acquired parish status, other returns were damaged or destroyed as the years went by , thus for some Devon parishes there are no returns; Ashburton was one of them.
