Cridford Inn – Ancient Devon Longhouse

Another glorious outing to another glorious location – this time a ‘Devon longhouse’ that dates back to 825AD.

It had previously served as a nunnery and a Celtish farm, before the building was remodelled in 1081. In 1086 it was one of the nine small-holdings mentioned in the “Domesday Book” and by then belonged to the Abbey of Buckfast.

It was a strange kinda day as I headed out into the moors in search of a very strange grave... ...and this is the grave of Kitty Jay, a young woman who was reportedly betrayed by her lover, and then took her own life - but why is that so…
Just thought I would show you some of the beautiful harbour area around Torquay... ~ Bella
