NEWTON ABBOT PAST AND PRESENT - LINK

Diana Stevens has transcribed an extract from the Newton Abbot Town Council Official Guide which contains a very clear explanation of how the modern town of Newton Abbot has evolved over the centuries.

Searching for ancestors in the parish registers for this place can be a long and frustrating process - the information in this extract could make the task much easier to understand.
