Excerpt: ... Cobleigh, probably had a son, John Cobleigh, who was the father of the third John Cobleigh, the husband of Jane Fortescue. As printed, John Cobleigh No. 2 appears to be the son of both John Cobleigh No. 1 and also of Robert Cornu. In the concluding paragraph, page 214, it is scarcely necessary to say that Fitzwamie is a misprint for Fitzwarine. Eds. 193. A Lodd1swell Deed.--By the permission of Col. Wise, the owner, with the kind assistance of Mr. H. L. Jenkins, of Clannacombe, Thurleston, we are able to give our readers a fac simile reproduction of a very pretty little and interesting thirteenth century deed. It is a grant of the Manor of Loddiswell, excepting the advowson of the Church and the land given to the Prior and Canons of Studley, the Augustinian house in Warwickshire, by Eva, widow of William de Cantilupe. The Cantilupes were great benefactors to Studley. Dugdale gives us (Mon. Aug., vol. vi., p. 185) particulars of the gift of this lady to the Canons, granted cir. 46 Henry iii., the land in Loddiswell being of the value of c per annum, with the homage and services of certain freeholders there, and a yearly rent of xx. The date of the deed we print is probably about 1265--it may have been after the gift just mentioned, --and Mr. John S. Amery points out that amongst the names in the Roll of the Guild-Merchant of Totnes, are those of Walter le Bon, and Thomas de Strete, who are witnesses. With the always readily accorded and valuable help of the Rev. Prebendary Hingeston-Randolph, we are able to give a fully extended copy of this document.
