WINKLEIGH PARISH

Introduction

Winkleigh Parish is centred on a hill-top village situated in the heart of Devon. It is a thriving village with an active community and a good range of local services and facilities. Historically, the name of the village and many of the farm names are Saxon in origin. Winkleigh has a rich history: it gave its name to a “Hundred”, an ancient division of a shire; it was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086); and its annual fair was chartered in 1262. In the village are two large mounds, Croft Castle and Court Castle, dating from the Medieval period. Winkleigh is the only village in Devon with two such remains.
