UPDATE: What was Bratton Clovelly like in medieval times? Our biggest project yet, come visit the translations of the Bratton Clovelly Manor Rolls, 1377-1684.
Also remember to have a look for your ancestors in the long-awaited gravestone photos and inscriptions for St Mary’s Parish Cemetery and Boasley Methodist Cemetery.

Bratton Clovelly is a beautiful village in West Devon where my ancestors lived in medieval times. The purpose of this site is to capture whatever we can learn of the parish, its inhabitants and properties before the time of people now living. Our aim is to include transcripts of historical records, photos, stories, analyses and other information that might help to picture what the parish was like through the centuries.

If you want to know what’s happening in Bratton Clovelly today, please check out their parish website.
Visit our Blog to find out what’s been happening and what’s upcoming on the website.
