Eighteenth Report of the Committee on Devonshire Folklore
by
P.F.S Amery (Ed.)
Trans. Devon Assoc., vol. XXXIII, (1901), pp. 123-128.
Prepared by Michael Steer
The Report was presented at the Association’s 1901 Exeter meeting. The Devonshire Association, founded in 1862, is a non-profit organization, dedicated to the study and appreciation of all things Devonian. It is the only society concerned with every aspect of the county and in 1895 was the only one of its kind in Britain. The present Report provides several generally entertaining informational “scraps”, on such topics as Stephen’s Grave at Peter Tavy, Hangman’s Pit on Holne Moor, dreams, overlookings and superstitions. The article, from a copy of a rare journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitization of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
Committee: Mr. P.F.S. Amery (Secretary), Rev. S. Baring-Gould, Mr. G.M. Doe, Rev. W. Harpley, Mr. P.Q. Karkeek, Mr.J.S. Neck, Mrs. Radford, Mr. J. Brooking Rowe, Mrs. Troup, Mr. H.B.S. Woodhouse.
