Summary
COMBE-IN-TEIGNHEAD
One rate survives for this parish located on the southern shore of the Teign estuary three miles from Teignmouth. In the early 1600s Tristram Risdon described ‘the two Teign Heads’ of ‘which with high cliffs look to seawards; from which towering hills trickleth such moisture as makes the valleys for fertility inferior to few places in the county’. Some 28 per cent of the population contributed to the church rate which collected pecks and bushels of grain.
