Exeter & Thomas Pomeroy 1721
1719 Thomas Pomery of St Johns in Exeter married Agnes Jenkins of St Sidwell (born 16 Sept 1690) married on 18th Jan 1719 at Exeter Cathedral.
St Sidwells Exeter Devon and area where there were a great many weavers.
Exeter existed as a settlement even before the Romans came in AD 55 when Julius Caesar ,establishing military garrisons, built a fort & a wall around it & called it ISCA .
The Romans linked many of their garrisons with long straight military supply roads such as Fosse Way which stretches right across England ,in an almost straight line, from Exeter to Lincoln on the East Coast.
The garrison of Isca-Exeter became a bustling place with trading in silver & tin which the moorlands of Dartmoor had in large alluvial deposits, as well as local wool ,which proved highly profitable. The Romans left in AD 410 Briton slid into economic darkness as what the Roman had created gradually fragmented.
Exeter Cathedral was founded in about 1050 as a Saxon minster then in 1107 after the Norman Conquest of 1066, a new cathedral in the Norman style was begun with its official foundation in 1133 . The two Norman towers of this magnificent building can be seen for many miles around & would have guided pilgrims and merchants into the city.
Exeter became a religious centre and the city had about 18 churches with 2 monastic settlements , St Nicholas Priory & a Grey Friars A Franciscan Friary within the city walls. Today there are 64 churches of all denominations. The two monastic settlements competed, some times acrimoniously, with the Cathedral for the dues levied for various service they provided. In those days the Catholic Church decided one could buy one's way into heaven and chantries were built where priests were paid to pray for the souls of the departed.
The WOOL trade flourished and the control it and gather taxes the Ordinance of the Staple was created in 1353 at which time Exeter became the Staple town for south Devon. As the wool trade began to flourish Exeter became an affluent mercantile centre. It had three markets a year where local merchants could meet with merchant traders from France, Flanders, or Italy. It would have been quite normal to hear foreign speech in counterpoise with the soft Devon burr at Exeter wool market.
During the period of the Hundreds Year War (1337-1453) trade was affected across Europe and times became so hard in England that many little towns vanished from the landscape forever.
Tuckers Hall was built in 1471 by The Guild of Weavers, Fullers and Shearmen and can be visited in Fore Street. Guild of Weavers, Tuckers and Shearmen since 1471, but the earliest record of a Guild of Clothworkers in Exeter is 1459
The Black Death, Bubonic Plague, arrived from Europe in 1348 and 1349 decimating the population of England. Devon, with its dense agricultural based population, suffered more than any other county. In 2 years 17 churches lost 86 clergy to the pestilence. Exeter lost half its population in the first outbreak. Of those who survived a further quarter perished in the second outbreak. It must have been a terrible and terrifying time for everyone.
Wool production was not a flexible commodity & supply could not instantly meet demand. Gradually the trade in raw wool declined and between 1349 &1542, the exact opposite occurred in the cloth trade and the production of wool cloth increased.
A medieval industrial revolution resulted.
Mills were built to facilitate the washing, carding, combing, and drying the raw wool; with waterways or leats were constructed to divert the water for washing the wool. After this it was hand spun and then woven and spinners and weavers soon abounded.
Many of the more influential Exeter wool merchants became Mayors of Exeter with their now names were recorded on the panelled walls of the Guildhall.
In the 21st century the layout of the main streets of the city remains largely unchanged although most of the ancient houses have long gone. Much of the walls also remain and one can walk where Romans walked around the city walls without a great deal of difficulty.
From Early Medieval through the Tudor period & into the 18th century Exeter was the centre of the Devon Wool Trade

The fields all around Exeter were covered in racking frames , seen below , where the wool cloth was hung on tenter hooks to dry.
Research into Exeter & the St Sidwell area was prompted by finding a pedigree on line which made the assumption that Thomas Pomeroy born Staverton 1699 was the same Thomas who was married in Exeter in 1719.
However they seem to have got that wrong and the Thomas from Staverton born 1699 wasn't the same man who married in the cathedral at Exeter in 1719.
Why ? firstly because there was a Pomeroy group in Exeter circa 1668 and he could well be one of that family but also because of the following records .
Thomas son of Richard POMEROY b: 24 OCT 1630 in Staverton Nr Totnes ( son of Ellias ) and Anna FURSEMAN
Married: 8 OCT 1682 in Staverton wife Grace HAWKINS b: ABT 1666 in Staverton Devon

I was unable to find any baptisms of children in IGI for this couple in Staverton or nearby
SO To Exeter ..... August 2014
St Sidwell Church before the bombing in WWII
DNA shows a group of Pomeroy in St Sidwell around 1668 so it seems likely that he was one of that family and living within the city walls at St Johns area West Quarter of the old city and after he married moved outside the city walls to St Sidwells.

Notes.
Fore Street on the map here is the main street that runs down towards the river from the crossroad, also called the Carfoix or 'four ways', which was sometimes used as a place of public execution and marked then by the Great Conduit where the people of the city could come and collect fresh water.
St Johns church called St John's Bow, now gone, can be seen was half way down Fore Street on the corner of John Street, within the city walls. St John's Bow was one of several places in the city that the proclamation of a new monarch was made. Charles II on the 11 May 1660, and George I after the death of Queen Anne were all proclaimed there.
The Municipal and Cathedral records note that during the reign of Charles I the weekly market for cattle and hides were at St John's Bow, while the meat market was held at the shambles in South Street. Horned cattle of every size and shape, held on ropes, would stand in front of the church, bellowing in confusion. Straw and dung was heaped on the street, while farmers and butchers struck their deals before the animals were led off to the butchers temporary pastures, or straight to Butchers Row at the end of John Street for immediate despatch.....
Occupations around such an area could be fellmongering, (dealing in sheepskins with the fleece still on, glove making,( glove& shoe leather was obviously produced by removing the fleece ) shoe making or cordwaining.
St St Sidwells was known as an area where there were cordwainers or shoemakers.
The difference between a cordwainer and a shoemaker is that a cornwainer used top quality leathers and specialised in boots, whereas a shoe maker used lesser quality or recycled leathers. to make shoes. Shoemakers and cordwainers made a good living because everyone needs boots & shoes and a cobbler repaired shoes but did not make them. .... not to mention all the other things that a world there horses predominated used leather for....

No clues as to where they were born
Bawden Pomroy is such a distinctive name that he must be the same man, Bb 1647 son of Richard in St Neot ,
Bawden married Susanna Jagoe in St Sidwells Exeter in 1688

BROAD CLIST, or Broad Clyst, is a pleasant village, 5 miles N.E. of Exeter is an exceptionally large parish covering nearly fifteen square miles and including rich valley scenery, heath, and wooded hills like Killerton and Ashclyst Forest.
Several of the farms date from before the Conquest (e.g. Ashclyst Farm, Clyst Gerred Farm, West Clyst, Mosshayne, Columbjohn, and Eveleigh.) Many, such as Killerton, Churchill and Southbrook, date from shortly after Domesday. The parish was for centuries full of ancient freeholders.
