Bindon is the prominent feature in all this country. It commands a most extensive prospect over Plymouth, and to the range of the Dartmoor hills; in the other direction the view extends to the high lands near St. Austell, southward it is bounded by the horizon of the sea, and it almost reaches St. George’s Channel to the north. The elevation cannot be less than eight or nine hundred feet; yet strange to say, the road from Looe to Leskeard still continues to pass very nearly over the summit of this hill.

THE GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE. The rocks of this parish all belong to the calcareous series, and are similar to those of the adjoining parish of Duloe. MOREWINSTOW. HALS. The manuscript relating to this parish is lost. TONKIN. Morewinstow is in the hundred of Stratton, and has to the west the sea, to the north part of Devon, to the east the river Tamar and part of Devon, to the south Kilkhampton. This parish is so called from the son of St. Morwen, to whom Marham church is dedicated. It is a vicarage, valued in the King’s Books at £10. 8_s._ 6_d._ The patronage in the Bishop of Exeter. In the year 1291, the 20th of Edward the 1st, this church was valued at £13. 6_s._ 8_d._ having since been appropriated to the hospital of Bridgewater in Somersetshire. THE EDITOR. At the general dissolution, the tithes of this parish were valued at £5. 6_s._ 9½_d._ being a part of the ecclesiastical possessions of the hospital of St. John at Bridgewater. The great tithes now belong to the family of Trefusis, through those of Walpole and Rolle. This parish forms the north-eastern extremity of the county, and gives origin to the river Tamar, (Ta-more, the great water,) which flows to the south coast, there forming the superb harbour of Plymouth. The portion of Morewinstow adjoining to the Irish channel, partakes of the rugged grandeur common to this district. The church stands near the cliff, commanding a fine view of the sea. The building is large, containing several fine specimens of gothic architecture. It is also decorated by monuments to the Kempthornes, Waddons, &c. Mr. Lysons states, that the principal villages in this parish are Coumbe, Crosstown, Eastcot, Gooseham, Hallabeer, Woolford, and Woolley. He also states, that Stanbury, a seat and manor in this parish, belonged to a family of the same name, and gave birth to Richard Stanbury, Bishop of Hereford, who died in 1471. But Mr. Lysons seems to have fallen into an error respecting the Christian name of this individual, and also as to the year of his decease.
