Molland,
North Molton, Yeo Valley, Umberleigh
Molland is a
small, quiet village on the southern edge of Exmoor, with an Inn, a shop
and a church. The church is mainly 15th century and is unusual
because it has 'escaped' restoration by the Victorians. The
furnishings are mainly Georgian and the pews are high sided 'horse box'
affairs. In 1804 the infamous hunting Parson Froude became vicar
of Molland and Knowstone. He had a reputation as a tyrant and is
said to have retained a private army of tenant farmers, grooms etc. for
terrorising his enemies.
The London Inn is next to the church. A 15th century former
coaching Inn, this fine, small country hostelry retains its rustic
charm; open log fires, inglenooks and beamed ceilings. Good ale
straight from the barrel, fresh-cooked food and B&B accommodation
are available. There is a legend that during the days of John
Knight, (see Simonsbath)
a gang of his miners who, happily drinking a weeks wages
away, were driven out of the London Inn by their angry wives who
had marched from Simonsbath!
Molland has a community website : www.devon.gov.uk/localstudies/110605/1.html
