    Notes:

    Modbury origins go back to Saxon times though nowadays most of the houses lining the steep main street are 18th or 19th century formerly the homes of prosperous wool merchants. During the reign of King Stephen of 'nineteen long winters', a Priory was founded in Modbury for Benedictines but was dissolved in the time of Henry VI. St. George's Church, Modbury, is rather unusual for the county of Devon in that it has a Medieval spire. It contains mutilated effigies of the Prideaux family in the north transept. Within the south transept are the Champernowne effigies; it was Sir Richard Champernowne whose family resided at Modbury House, living in great splendour till the end of the seventeenth century. The building was castellated in 1334 by royal license, but all was taken down in 1705 except a small portion which consisted of a stable and hay loft. It is said the family kept a very fine band of singers and musicians in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and several of the family were knighted for military services.

    GENERATION 1

    1. Sir RICHARD CHAMPERNOUN, of Modbury, Devonshire. As "Richard de Chambernon, son of Dom Henry de Chamb'noun," he terminated a Plea brought by him in City Court against Master Henry de Bollegh, Archdeacon of Cornwall, 4 Oct 1286 (DCNQ, 8: 132). In 1275/82, as Ricardus de Chambernun, he was recorded as a tenant of the manor of Inswork (Book of Fees, II, p. 1298).

    Married to Joan, half-sister of James de Okeston, of Modbury. Sir James de Okeston presented to Modbury Priory Sept 1321 (Stapledon, p. 235). It has been suggested that Joan had remarried by 1300, in which year Peter de Fissacre was holding Inceworth, as per the IPM of Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, and that Joan, wife of Peter de Fissacre, put in a claim in 1316, endorsed on the final concord of Modbury (RTDA, 67: 269-270, 280-282). Joan apparently died soon after as in 1319 her son Richard was holding Inceworth.
