Our first was a near 1,000 year old oak from Meavy, dating from about the time that the Conqueror made a present of the place to one of his companions. For some reason the trunk had split out into three legs, making the thing into a sort of vegetable tripod.
Quite a handsome church for such a small place, sporting some interesting carving on the pews. The barrel vaults were like miniature versions of the crooked ones at St. Eustace of Jägermeister at Tavistock.
There was also an old pub, said to be a gem and for some reason in the ownership of the local council, and an old school, sporting for some other reason a replica of Drake's drum.
