Georgeham Parish Church St. George
GEORGEHAM, a small straggling village, in a valley 8 miles W.S.W. of Barnstaple, has in its parish 923 souls and 4650 acres of land, extending westward to Croyde and Morte Bays, and the long narrow promontory called Baggy Point, where the rocky cliffs rise boldly from the Bristol Channel. Most of the parishioners are in the villages and hamlets of Croyde, North Buckland, Darracott, and Puttsborough.
Croyde is a pleasant sea bathing place, with a fine bay, and much romantic scenery in its vicinity. The manor of Georgeham was anciently the seat and property of the knightly family of Pickwell, and now belongs to Earl Fortescue. C.H. Webber, Esq., is lord of the manor of Croyde, or Crede; but a great part of the parish belongs to John Dunning, W.V. Richards, (of Incledon House,) the Rev. F. Hole, and a number of smaller owners, mostly free and partly lease holders.
« The Church (St. George see picture to the left,) is a fine antique structure, and among its monuments is the tomb of a crusader, supposed to be that of Sir Mauger St. Albyn. In the churchyard are buried Simon Gould and his wife Julian, who died in March, 1817, each in the 101st year of their age, and having been married upwards of 75 years. The rectory, valued in K.B. at £40. 17s. 11d., and in 1831 at £622, is in the patronage of Wm. Hole, Esq. and incumbency of the Rev. Fras. Hole, who has a handsome residence and 35A. of glebe. The tithes were commuted in 1839, for £500 per annum. The poor parishioners have £2. 5s. 7d. yearly, as the interest of £57 left by various donors. In 1778, John Richards left £5 a year out of Tucker's and Hartnoll's tenements, for two schoolmistresses, at Georgeham and Croyde. The poor have also the interest of £50, left by John Richd. Middleditch, in 1798; and they ought to have the dividends of £24. 11s. three per cent. consols, left by Richard. Dean, in 1805, but they have not been claimed since 1811.
