Halwell history
During the Saxon era Halwell was one of the four burhs, or fortified settlements, established in Devon by King Alfred the Great (d.899), King of Wessex from 871 to 899, to defend against invasion by Vikings. According to the Burghal Hidage, Halwell’s town wall was 1,237 feet long and the garrison consisted of 300 men who could be drawn from the surrounding district in the event of an invasion. However by the close of the 11th century its status as a burh had been transferred to Totnes, 5 miles to the north.
Descent of the manor
Sir John Halgawell (or Halliwell) was Steward of the Duchy of Cornwall under King Henry VIII (1485-1509) and Admiral of the Fleet and Knight of the Body. His son Richard was Richard, the last in the male line, who married Joan Norbury, daughter and heiress of John Norbury of Stoke in Surrey. His daughter, Joan, married Edmund Braye, 1st Baron Braye (c.1484-1539) of Eaton Bray in Bedfordshire. Elizabeth Bray was her second of six daughters, namely Elizabeth Bray (d.1573), who married Sir Ralph Verney (1509-1546)
