The manor of Lincombe, in this parish, which belonged formerly to
the family of Witchalse, is now the property of John Mervin
Cutcliffe, Esq. (fn.
8) , who had for many generations their seat at Dammage, in this
parish, now a farm-house belonging to the family. Johannes de
Rupecissa, or Cutcliffe, a learned divine, who wrote against popery
in the fourteenth century, was of this family, and is said to have
been born at Dammage. The manor of Warcombe in Ilfracombe, is also
part of the ancient possessions of the Cutcliffe family.
In the parish-church are monuments of the Cutcliffes (fn.
9) and Parminters (fn.
10) ; Joan, wife of Nicholas Killiowe, Esq., 1686; Elizabeth,
wife of Leonard Prince, (mother of John Prince, author of "the
Worthies,") 1657; and a sarcophagus with naval trophies in memory of
Captain Richard Bowen, of the navy (fn.
11) , 1797. There are some memorials also in the chancel of the
family of J'Ans. (fn.

Esq., 1681, and her two daughters, who died the same year; Eleanor
married to Fleming, and Anne to Bury, of Colleton.
10 Mr. William Parminter, of Watermouth, 1677; Mr. Henry
Parminter, of Whitfield, in Marwood, 1732.
11 Inscription. "He overcame difficulties surmountable by no
common powers, and raised himself to eminence in a profession where
eminence is most difficult; amongst distinguished characters he was
himself distinguished. In the service of his king and country he was
faithful, vigilant, and zealous: in the day of peril he gave proofs
of the most daring intrepidity, corrected by the coolest judgment;
full of resources, spirit, and the most decisive activity, he at
once humbled the foe and saved the friend. The post of danger, to
which he was so often appointed, unequivocally attests his superior
courage, abilities, and patriotism. Of a life thus spent, and
spending in the sacred cause of his king and country, the career was
stopped in the unfortunate enterprize at Teneriffe, (under the
command of Rear Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson, K. B.) where he fell;
yet still in the path of his duty and of glory, and at the head of
his own ship's company, on the 24th of July, 1797, in the 34th year
of his age." |
