Chudleigh Parish Records: [Transcribed by the late Mr. R. M. Ellis and Reprinted:] In 1659 they requested Mr. Giles Inglett to attempt to buy the rectorial tithes of the parish from ” the farmers who have lately purchased them from the State,” but this appears to have been unsuccessful, for they reverted to the Crown at the Restoration, and were in 1673 granted to the Lord Treasurer Clifford and his heirs male, with the obligation of paying £42 per annum to the precentor of Exeter Cathedral. There was now keen competition for the fairs and markets. Humphrey Pinsent paid £73 for them in 1650, but, taught by experience, had a new clause inserted in the lease to the effect that he was to be indemnified for any loss by “sickness, fire, or soldiers.” Philip Veale obtained them in the following year for £71, and Humphrey Pinsent had to pay £81 the next year to recover them. Veale outbid him again in 1656, giving £90, and obtained a five years’ lease which was extended, until in 1677 Pinsent secured them for £120 One interesting entry in these leases is that in 1688 the grazing of the Sporting Place was rented to Veale except one acre, which had been granted to the School House, thus chronicling the commencement of the Grammar School, which was founded by John Pinsent about this date. Education seems to have been coming to the fore during the Commonwealth, for in 1658 the seven men recorded that there was great need of an able and painful schoolmaster in the place, and they agreed with Mr. Pollexfen to come and reopen the old school in the Church House for £13 6s 8d. yearly, on their part undertaking to put the premises into repair for him.
