| I am the great-granddaughter of Major Arden who lived at Higher Stiniel Farm, Chagford. His wifes name was Elizabeth. They had 2 children called John Arden and Nora Elizabeth Arden. My mother's (Noras daughter) maiden name was Helen Hewison-Corn. Major Arden was the Master of the Mid Devon Fox Hounds. I recently visited Chagford and would love to have more information or photos of the family or farm if any one is able to help. Also, it would be great to have contact details for the Chagford History Society. I thought it was a very beautiful place and look forward to finding out more about my family and their history in the town. Thanks. Karen Piangnee |

| Hi, Can anyone help? I am searching for information about a sister of my Grandfather Arthur John Aggett b Chagford 1874.His sister was Anna b 1867. When she was about 18/20 yrs old she was painted in oils sitting on a rock somewhere close-by Chagford, with a shawl over her shoulders. The painting was called "A Devonshire Lass". Some time after completion the painting was exhibited at the Royal Acedemy of Arts London. Anna married William Hill a Farrier and lived in the Square Darlind Lodge Chagford. They later took over the Sandypark Inn. They had 2 children,Reginald and William, Regionald was killed in WW1 and son william finished up in Exeter.I believe the painting of his mother was with him. There the trail goes cold.Any help about the painting, its whereabouts,what it was like etc would be gratefully received.I have a lot of info about the Aggett history but this little "snippet" eludes me. Thank you all. John H. Aggett. |

| Dear all, have just found your excellent site - I lived in Chagford from 1949 - 1957, went to the school in New Street and lived in Meldon Road at no. 22 next door to the Mortimores on one side and the Wards on the other! Went to Okehampton Grammar School on an ancient Arscotts bus - no heating - brrrr! My father was Harold Randle (also known as Eddy) and my Mother, Mavis they ran a thriving Olde Tyme dance club for many years and were very much involved in Chagford carnival! My Garndparents (Alfred & Ada)are in yor beautiful churchyard, together with some other local relatives - Lily Hockin who was a tailoress wholived in Fernliegh and my great grandmother is also there somewhere.
We left in late '57 to move to Bedford, my Mother;s home town but still come back from time to time - have great memories - a wonderful place to grow up.
Trish (Tricia/Patricia) Burridge nee Randle.
PS Burridge is a local name too - my husband Gerald lived there for a time, his parents were Frank & Rene - agricultural haulage - later moved to Higher Thorn and then Hittisleigh to farm in the early 50's. |

| My great great great grandfather Henry SCOTT married Sussannah TRIGGS in Chagford on th 18th March 1800. He lived there and his oldest son William SCOTT b.14th jan 1802 was also born there and married Elizabeth THORN there on the 3rd of july 1821. Williams youngest son James Walter SCOTT b. 24th April 1844 Chagford immigrated to Australia. My research has stopped at Henry and I would love to hear from any descendants of the Scotts still residing there. I visited in 1985 but was unable to connect to anyone due to time constraints.

Have a wonderful picture of the old stone house there, now on my wall. I understand there were still Scotts at Hole circa 1950. I would like to hear from anyone who knows the Scott family history, and possibly their Serle,Endacott or Brock family connections in the area. I would be willing to share information. Jean |

| I am currently tracing the family of my late father William Charles Sampson. I have established that his father also called William (my grandfather) was born in Chagford. The 1901 census shows that the family lived in the High Street. The head of the family was Thomas Sampson and his wife was called Susan A Sampson. Other members of the family (Brothers & Sisters) were Frederick,John,George,Jessie and Elizibeth. I am reliable informed that both my grandfather and his brother George left Chagford and moved to London before the first world war. My grandfarther eventually ended up living in Kent. Any information would be welcomed. |

| I am trying to research the Hunt family. My father-in-law is Richard Charles Gibson Hunt (originally DUNNING Hunt) - now known as Hunt-Taylor. His family were for many years the doctors in Chagford and we have seen many of their gravestones still standing (or, sadly in one case, fallen but nonetheless remaining) in the church yard. His beloved Aunt Con lived at the original (NOT the present) Pixie Holt. We believe she died in the 1970s. Does anyone still remember any of the Hunt family, or possibly have any interesting information, please? We would so love to hear. Richard Hunt (87) is still interested in his roots, as are his children, Barry and Valerie. |
