The Location

North Tawton has a lot of history . It appears in the Doomsday book. 20 years after the Battle of Hastings William the conqueror commissioned his men to record his lands and content, North Tawton being one of those records. The many farms within the parish are also mentioned. In medieval times everyone was provided for by the manor, augmented by the monasteries and private charities even in those times, when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries the village became governed by the vestry, which was built in market street in the early 1850s. Romans crossed the River Taw at what is now Newland Mill, a little outside the present town, and established a succession of military camps there over the years. The Roman fort is believed to have had the name Nemetostatio, meaning "The road-station of the sacred groves", and may have been located on the site of an ancient druidic sanctuary. It covered an area of roughly 600 ft (185m) east-west by 390 ft (120m), and was located adjoining (truncated)
