Sampford Peverell

Sampford Peverell

Sampford Peverell is a village in Mid-Devon, England. Its name reflects its inclusion in the "Honour of Peverel", the lands of William Peverel and his family. His great-grandson, Hugh Peverell (the name had changed spelling), is buried in the village church of St John the Baptist.

The two rectories were built in 1836, at the expense of the Grand Western Canal Company, in compensation for cutting through the grounds and demolishing the south wing of the Old Rectory.
