After the Protestant Reformation, many people continued to practice their Catholic faith. Devon and Cornwall were areas where instruction to change was disregarded but when Edward VI became King in 1547, he was determined to stamp this out. In 1549, The Act of Uniformity banned Catholic Liturgy replacing it legally with the Book of Common Prayer. Other events occurring at the same time which significantly impacted the people of Devon and Cornwall, such as a poll tax on sheep, combined with the imposition of the Book of Common Prayer and with it the use of the English language, resulted in a rebellion of several thousand. The rebellion was crushed and thousands massacred. The Battle of Fenny Bridges was fought just behind this memorial.

At the heart of village of Whimple is a village square and a Norman Church, St Mary's. Although fairly small, there are two pubs, a village shop and a post office. The tradition of Wassailing is enjoyed in Whimple on 17th January and it attracts many spectators. Wassailing is a pagan practice of visiting orchards on the old twelfth night to sing songs and make a lot of noise to the fruit trees to ward off bad spirits and to please the spirits of the fruit trees.

Bridge over the River Otter, near Ottery St Mary - pleasant spot for a break.

Good view overlooking Uffculme

Market held every other Saturday

Home made hot soups being served over the winter.

Deep & fast-flowing after overnight heavy rainfall - the bridge was the safer option on this occasion!

The millpond, home to numerous ducks, feeds the mill leat, which used to turn a water wheel (sadly long gone) at Halberton Mill (ST010126), now a private dwelling.

... with a bench nearby, handy for a break.

Shallow enough but footpath is there for the feint hearted
