UPDATE: The Bratton Clovelly Land Tax Assessments are now available annually from 1780 to 1832. Find lots of new information about land owners, Bratton Clovelly residents and properties!

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 see arrivals to the site such as the parish Gravestones and Bratton Manor Rolls.
