| - Notes: The Chownes stayed at Rockbeare until at least 1828. This family's descent stems
from Charles' and Joan's third youngest child HENRY 07 ApI 1702, who married Ann COOKNEY at Exeter's Holy Trinity Church in May 1727. Their first three children were born at Rockbeare but by 1733 Henry was a yeoman farmer at Exminster and lived at Spurway Farm. Henry's descendants were still there about 1867 when it was sold to Gertrude Chown's husband, Albert WHITTON. Spurway Farmhouse still stands - at least, two-thirds of it does! Men had been working on the farmhouse for some time trying to fix a subsidence problem for the owner, Mr Robert Chard. On returning from a business trip, poor Mr Chard found part of the 40o-year-old, eight-bedroom three-storey home in Days Pottle Lane had fallen down, leaving great slabs of cob littering neighbouring gardens. Fortunately no-one was home! Perhaps it can be restored but it will never be quite the same again. Mr Chard told the local paper: "One of the features lost is a beautiful inglenook fireplace with a bread oven and seat." At 1990's prices, the damage is estimated at more than 50,000 pounds sterling! |
