South Molton, an incorporated market town and parish, having separate jurisdiction, though locally in the hundred of South Molton, six miles southeast of Swimbridge, less than 10 miles southeast of Bishops Tawton, 28 miles north northwest of Exeter, and 181 miles southwest of London... The principal branch of manufacture is that of woollen goods, considerable supplies of which are occasionally furnished to the East Indies... The charter of incorporation was granted by Elizabeth, and confirmed by Charles II... The freedom of the borough is obtained by birth, every son of a freeman being entitled to it, whether born in or out of the parish; it is also conferred by gift of the corporation... The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Barnstaple, and diocese of Exeter... in the patronage of the Dean and Canons of Windsor... The free school was founded, in 1686, by Hugh SQUIER. (Lewis, 1831)
