Excerpt from The History of the Suburbs of Exeter: With General Particulars as to the Landowners, Lay and Clerical, From the Conquest to the Present Time, and a Special Notice of the Hamlyn Family, Together With "a Digression" On the Noble Houses of Redvers, and of Courtenay, Earls of Devon
A preface is almost unnecessary, as my first chapter sufficiently explains the method I have adopted in the compilation of the following pages.
I may mention, however, that this little volume is the partial result of the labours of more than twelve years, during which I have been constantly examining and noting original records of all kinds, both here, and in London, as most of my friends are well aware.
