History of Cadeleigh:
Cadeleigh, Devon, boasts a rich history rooted in Domesday Book entries, featuring two manors that later merged, a prominent St Bartholomew's Church with a stunning 17th-century Leach monument (Sir Simon Leach, Sheriff of Devon), and a past railway presence (the station was closer to Bickleigh). The village's history reflects continuity in its landscape, with traditional buildings, cob walls, and orchards, alongside a significant legacy from families like the Leaches and Courtenays, set in the picturesque Exe Valley. Early History & Manors Domesday Origins: The Domesday Book (1086) lists two manors, "Cadelia," which eventually combined into Cadeleigh. Land Ownership: Ownership passed through families like Chievre, Mohun, Kingston, Courtenay, Leach, and Doble. The Church & The Leach Monument St. Bartholomew's Church: A Norman church from the 12th century was rebuilt in the 15th century, with major interior renovations in 1766. The Monument: The standout feature is the elaborate early 17th-century monument to Sir Simon Leach (d. 1637) and his wife, Lady Katherine, featuring effigies and kneeling children, considered one of Devon's finest parish church monuments. Sir Simon Leach: A notable figure, he rose from a blacksmith's son to Sheriff of Devon, with his son a Royalist in the Civil Wars. Later Developments Railway: The village had a railway station (named "Cadeleigh and Bickleigh") from 1885-1963, located near Bickleigh. Architecture: The area features traditional red brick and cob barns, beech hedging, and gardens with cottage garden styles, showing little new development post-2000, notes Mid Devon District Council.
