1839 Woodbury had 278 acres of apple orchards allied to a vibrant on farm cider making industry. In 2014 the parish only has some 3 acres of commercial orchard still in operation at Woodbury Salterton. These apples are now exported out of the parish.

In 1675, the manor of Lympstone was sold eventually by Sir John Prideaux’ great-grandson to Sir Thomas Putt of Combe (after whom the apple ‘Tom Putt’ is named).

His son, another Sir Thomas, was well in advance of his times, for when most villagers were still part of a feudal estate, he gave instructions that on his death his tenants might buy the freeholds of their properties with full manorial rights – an unheard of step!

Several of the houses built on land bought at his death in 1721 still bear the name of independent villagers – Basses’, Manston’s (the former Smith’s, Teed’s) and others. (Indeed, then and later. many of the houses in the village have retained the name of former owners – “Hares”, for instance, “Mitchell’s”, “Stafford House”, “White’s Cottages”, “Metherell’s” and “Shepard’s”).

Hogsbrook & Higher Hogsbrook farms are outside Woodbury Salterton

The claypits became a pottery supply enterprise which has obliterated what was there making the area close unrecognisable on todays map there are  a large fishing ponds from the clay pits presumably and a golf course.
