South Molton is a small town in Devon, England. It is part of the North Devon local government district. The town is on the River Mole. The town was one of the boroughs reformed by the Municipal Reform Act 1835. It retained this status as a municipal borough until 1967, when it became a rural borough in the South Molton Rural District.
On 14 March 1655, Sir John Penruddock was captured after a three-hour street fight in South Molton by soldiers of the New Model Army under the command of Captain Unton Crook. With his capture, the Penruddock uprising came to an end and so did the 1655 plans of the Sealed Knot to restore King Charles II to the throne of England.
South Molton is a well-built market town trading mostly in sheep and cattle. South Molton had a railway station on the Devon Railway until 1966, when the branch line was finally closed. The station was described in detail in the best selling railway publication the Country Railway. It is situated on the southern side of Exmoor just off the North Devon link road, which in part follows the route of the railway line.
Hugh Squier (1625-1710), a wealthy merchant born locally, was a great benefactor of South Molton. He was the son of William Squier of Townhouse, now a farmhouse about 1 mile west of the town. At the age of 29, having made his fortune in London, where he resided at Westminster, he purchased the lordship of the manor of South Molton, which feudal position entitled him to the fees and tolls levied at the town's markets and fairs. His children all died young and having no heirs he thus decided to devote his wealth to philanthropical causes in his native town. In 1686 he built and endowed a grammar school in East Street, South Molton, known as Hugh Squier's Free School. The original Deed of Endowment and Appointment of Trustees is held at North Devon Record Office in Barnstaple.

Devon 2015 - Part 4: Powderham Castle

Bis heute wird es von der Familie bewohnt. Der Titel: EARL OF DEVON. Es liegt süd- östlich von Exeter, am Ufer der Exe. Auf der geführten Besichtigungstour durch das im gregorianischen Stil eingerichtete Haus ( ca. 1 Stunde), konnte uns Dave viel Interessantes und Kuioses zum Besten geben . . .
