Thank you. Useful links. to find the Devon maps. Sadly Sticklepath does not appear on either map despite having an early Chantry chapel, with evidence suggesting the need for 2 priests before this date. Speculation suggests the little cob church was set back from the road and pigsties etc in front of it prevented the map makers spotting it! The vicars of Sampford Courtenay tended to forget it too except twice per year when they came the 5 miles to collect their tithes! Dissolution of the chantries under Edward VI meant they lost the priest in 1549, and I am not sure when they were re-established. Perhaps that was the reason. A drawing exists, showing it before it was burnt down and re-built in its modern form in 1875, now a Heritage Centre. http://library-cat.swheritage.org.uk/archive/p-d48309-DA144017
