Kingsbridge
Kingsbridge is a market town and traveler hub in the South Hams area of Devon, England, with a population of 6,116 at the 2011 census. Two selecting wards bear the name of Kingsbridge (East & North). Their consolidated population at the above census was 4,381. It is situated at the northern end of the Kingsbridge Tidewater, a ria that reaches the sea 6 miles southern of the town. It is the 3rd largest negotiation in the South Hams and also is 32 miles (51 km) south-southwest of Exeter. The town developed around a bridge which was integrated in or before the 10th century between the royal estates of Alvington, to the west, and Chillington, to the eastern, hence offering it the name of Kyngysbrygge ("King's bridge"). In 1219 the Abbot of Buckfast was approved the right to hold a market there, as well as by 1238 the negotiation had come to be a district. The estate stayed in possession of the abbot till the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when it was provided to Sir William Petre. Kingsbridge was never ever represented in Parliament or included by charter, the local government being by a portreeve. It lay within the numerous Stanborough.
