Bartholomew Gidley from Hollacombe Paramour near Winkleigh in Devon bought the
Gidleigh estate in 1638.
Bartholomew was a very common name in the Gidley family but this Gidley raised
the Tinners Regiment for the King during the Civil War.
They owned the estate until the middle of the 18th century when they went
bankrupt and the property was held in chancery until eventually it was sold to
the Reverend Thomas Whipham in 1819.
The book "Gidleigh - A Dartmoor Village - Past & Present" traces the history of
the village from the middle of the 11th century to the present day.It mentions
all the houses and most of the residents from 1650 onwards.
It is not meant as a genealogical study but rather a detailed story of how the
village developed over the years.
We have written the book to help raise money for the maintenance of the village
hall so if you would like a copy it would cost £20 + P&P [$43 including P&P]
