COLDRIDGE
Six rates survive for this parish located ten miles north-west from Crediton. It was renowned for its park, described in 1630 as having once been ‘garnished with goodly woods and timber’. In 1567 it was alleged that it was under one of the oak trees in Coldridge Park that for several successive Sundays Sir Thomas Stukley ‘had to do’ with Wilmot Berry, named then as ‘a whore’. The population of the parish was some 360 persons in 1642. Approximately 14 per cent of the parish contributed to the church rates and marginally more in Ship Money.
