APPENDIX.
IV.
Since the parish of Broadoak was printed, an additional sheet of Mr.
Hals’s manuscript has been communicated to the Editor by his friend
the Rev. Richard Polwhele. It contains an account of the important
military events which distinguished that parish and the neighbourhood,
in 1644, and it is therefore printed as a curious addition to what has
here been given in the body of the work, on the same subject. Mr.
Polwhele has also sent another sheet relative to St. Stephen’s near
Saltash, but that does not contain anything of the least importance.
These two sheets appear to have been separated from the work at Exeter
by the carelessness of the bookseller in whose hands the whole had
been lodged, and this confirms the suspicion of more important losses
having taken place at the same time.
BROADOAK.
Broadoak is situate in the hundred of West, and hath upon the south
Boconnock, west St. Winnow, east St. Pynock, north Cardinham; and by
the name of Bradock it was taxed in Domesday Roll, 20 William I. 1087;
which word, if it be single, signifies a rebel or traitor, one that
betrays the trust and fidelity reposed in him by another; otherwise if
it be commonly understood of Brad-ock or Brodock, it signifies broad
trees of oak (Saxon).
