This Story shows a collection of pictures associated with the church at Fremington.

Fremington Quay was an industrialised island within a rural parish. Many men worked in the railway and the cranes, but only a handful of people lived there. Apart from the stationmasters house there was a small row of cottages, home to several Fremington families. The family photographs shown here were generously contributed by Mrs Vera Norman, Mrs Wanda Ruse, Mrs Parsley and others

Ilfracombe has had a lifeboat since 1828 - this was a local pilot boat. In 1850 the first boathouse, with a slipway, was built at the back of the harbour. In 1866 the RNLI established a lifeboat station. In 1871 The slipway was filled in and the lifeboat had to be taken through the town to the top of the harbour to use the slipway there to get to the sea. In 1893 a new larger boathouse was built. In 1991 An inshore lifeboat station was established and in 1996 a new boathouse, with improved crew facilities, was built for both lifeboats and launching tractor.

Surfing has been very popular with locals and tourists alike for many years. From the 1950s and 1960s basic boards have been on sale at reasonable prices in many shops. Weatward Ho! has a nucleus of serious surfers who practice their sport throughout the year. In the summer months the beach is crowded with fair-weather surfers and holiday makers alike, all taking advantage of the extensive beach and the water.

ACE Archaeology Club completed a survey of Winkleigh Airfield in 1999; a report was then published in January 2000. This is now being updated and will be available in digital format soon.

The aim of the project (funded by the Local Heritage Initiative), is to help residents of the parish investigate the history of where they live. All buildings, even new ones can be included, because of Winkleigh’s rich heritage the land on which they are built is of interest. The project mixes historical research with archaeological disciplines, training in all aspects is provided.

This virtual walk around Winkleigh will show you some of the secrets of the villages past.
