TEIGNHARVEY is on the banks of the Teign near Shadon opposite Teignmouth- there is no village,  there is a parish of Teignharvey in Stokeinteignhead parish and Wonford hundred.   There are a couple of ancient houses there, farms. ALTHOUGH  I have a feeling Hockmoors had a manor house there, I know they connect to nearby

Combe in Teignhead  because I went there on a painting trip and was surprised to find memorials in the church.

Hackmore /Hockmore  held Buckland Barton which is close by .. and I found another place they  held - the farm of Buckyett after peering at my OS paper map..not far from Staverton close to Hemsford.

 All these properties are around the same area

Paignton

Wiki tells us

Paignton is mentioned in the Domesday Book of AD 1086 as Peintone in the ancient hundred of Kerswell.[2] Formerly written Peynton, Payngton[3] and Paington, the name is derived from "Paega" an Anglo-Saxon personal name, "ing" meaning "the people of" and "ton" an enclosure, estate or homestead[4], the original Anglo-Saxon settlement.

Originally, the beach was backed by low sand duneswith marshes behind on the flat land between the sea and the hills behind. The settlement grew up on the dry ground at the foot of the hills, and also as a separate hamlet in the shelter of Roundham Head, a fishing settlement.

The first church was probably built in wood in the eighth century[5] In late Saxon times, the manor was owned by Leofric, the Bishop of Exeter, and later bishops built a palace, some remains of which, including the "Coverdale" Tower can be seen to the south of the parish church.

Winner Street owes its name to a corruption of "Wynerde", referring to vineyards or, at least, traders in wine in the medieval period[6].

Paignton was given the status of a borough having a market and fair in 1294.[7]

They grew grapes & Cabbages and produced cider from the apples they grew.

Kirkham House is a late medieval stone house which is open to the public at certain times of year

The CHURCH. h. ttps://www.paigntonparishchurch.co.uk/the-church/short-history/

Paignton Parish church has a Norman font and 14th C doorways.

THE NORTH DOOR (THE "WEDDING DOOR") (14th Century) has an ancient holy water stoup outside. It incorporates a little "door within a door" at the bottom of the door was for the purpose of ejecting unruly dogs! It must be remembered that in mediaeval times all manner of functions took place in church !

has scratches around it , said to have been made by archers sharpening their arrows when they practiced in Coverdale Tower in the churchyard.

Paignton's "Manor House", though never so described. From Saxon times until 1549 Paignton was an Episcopal manor and belonged to the Bishops of Exeter. The Palace has disappeared, but its outer fortifications remain.

The name 'Coverdale Tower' recalls an erroneous tradition that Miles Coverdale, Bishop of Exeter 1551-3, translated the Bible in it, but his translation was published 16 years before he became Bishop.

Sir John Kirkham (1472-1529) of Blagdon was Sheriff of Devon in 1523/4.[6] According to the Devonshire biographer Prince (d.1723), he was a "very free and liberal, ... prudent and discreet" benefactor of the town of Honiton in Devon.[7]

The senior male line ended on the death of Richard Kirkham (d.1631),[8] who married "the heiress of Oldham" near Tilbury in Essex,[9] and left a daughter and sole heiress Mary Kirkham, who married Sir George Blount, 2nd Baronet (died 1667) of Sodington in the parish of Mamble in Worcestershire. The younger brother of Richard Kirkham (d.1631) was Francis Kirkham who married the heiress of the Roope family of Bidwell in the parish of Newton St Cyres, Devon, where the Kirkham family continued for several generations.[10]
