CORYTON
Two militia rates survive for this West Devon parish located twelve miles south-west of Okehampton and seven miles north of Tavistock. In 1630 Thomas Westcote wrote in A View of Devonshire that this parish was ‘a place of no great note’. He also noted that the Coryton family had moved to Cornwall.

Note: This rate was written on a sheet of paper which measures nearly 12 inches in width and 7¾ inches in length. The numerals are Roman. The heading refers to the Grand Subsidy of May 1643 which was concerned with Ireland. About 3 per cent of the population contributed to the rates.
