Disparity in Land Values: Arbitration Case at Newton Abbot: A considerable disparity in the Assessments was revealed during the hearing of arbitration proceedings yesterday at Newton Abbot to determine the purchase price of land in Buckland Barton, the property of Sir Henry Carew, required by the Newton Abbot Urban Council for sewage outfall works. … … Mr. Slade said that the expert acting for Sir Henry assessed the land at £4,161, and the Council’s expert at £828 but the latter figure included nothing for general depreciation of the estate through the outfall works. … (higher figure because of expected damage to the whole marsh area) … Mr. W. H. Pinsent, district valuer, giving evidence for the Council, said the land tunnelled under would not be affected by as much as a penny in value. £853 would be sufficient compensation of the land and easements. He agreed that he had not allowed anything for depreciation in sentimental value. …

Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Saturday 17th May 1930

Peeps into the Past: Moretonhampstead Events in Napoleonic Times: Contemporary Record: The local history of Moretonhampstead has been lately enriched by the discovery of a manuscript journal, kept by one Sylvester Treleaven, and covering the Napoleonic period. By the courtesy of Mr. B. Parker, permission has been given to quote from this record in this and succeeding articles. For years, from 1789 onwards, Treleaven was a shrewd and detached observer of the life the town. French prisoners of war, smugglers, weavers, itinerant preachers, hungry women, and workless men jostle one another in his pages. He is content to write of Moretonhampstead only. When peace was declared in 1801, notes it as a fact, and then goes on to say how Mr. Pinsent’s house was illuminated with coloured lights, spelling “Rejoice Brittons,” while the Post-office showed “Peace and Plenty.” Yet he never lacked material, such was his interest in small details. When Thomas Tyrwhitt, Esquire, drove through the town on his way to his new estate at Tor Royal, Treleaven took pains to describe minutely the armorial bearings on the door of his carriage. In everything there is the same precision, and, like Pepys, he never bothered to assess the relative importance of events. The result is a particularly vivid picture of the life of the town. … (continues) …
