Kingsbridge
Kingsbridge is a market town as well as traveler hub in the South Hams district of Devon, England, with a population of 6,116 at the 2011 census. 2 electoral wards birth the name of Kingsbridge (East & North). Their combined population at the above census was 4,381. It is positioned at the northern end of the Kingsbridge Tidewater, a ria that reaches the sea six miles south of the community. It is the third biggest settlement in the South Hams as well as is 32 miles (51 km) south-southwest of Exeter. The town formed around a bridge which was constructed in or before the 10th century in between the royal estates of Alvington, to the west, and also Chillington, to the east, thus offering it the name of Kyngysbrygge ("King's bridge"). In 1219 the Abbot of Buckfast was approved the right to hold a market there, and by 1238 the settlement had become a district. The estate continued to be in ownership of the abbot up until the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when it was granted to Sir William Petre. Kingsbridge was never ever represented in Parliament or incorporated by charter, the city government being by a portreeve. It lay within the thousand of Stanborough.
