Dartmouth
Dartmouth is a community as well as civil parish in the English county of Devon. It is a visitor destination set on the western bank of the tidewater of the River Dart, which is a long slim tidal ria that runs inland as far as Totnes. It exists within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and also South Hams area, as well as had a population of 5,512 in 2001, [1] decreasing to 5,064 at the 2011 census There are 2 electoral wards in the Dartmouth area (Townstal & Kingswear). Their combined populace at the above census was 6,822. In 1086, the Domesday Book notes Dunestal as the only negotiation in the area which now comprises the church of Dartmouth. It was held by Walter of Douai. It paid tax on half a hide, and also had 2 plough teams, 2 servants, 5 villagers and four smallholders. There were 6 cattle, 40 sheep as well as 15 goats. At this time Townstal (as the name became) was evidently a purely agricultural negotiation, centred around the church. Walter of Douai rebelled against William II, and his lands were taken as well as added to the honour of Marshwood (Dorset), which sublet Townstal and also Dartmouth to the FitzStephens. It was probably during the very early part of their proprietorship that Dartmouth began to grow as a port, as it was of tactical significance as a deep-water port for cruising vessels. The port was used as the sailing factor for the Crusades of 1147 and 1190, and Warfleet Creek, near Dartmouth Castle is intended by some to be called for the vast fleets which constructed there. Dartmouth was a house of the Royal Navy from the power of Edward III and also was twice surprised as well as sacked throughout the Hundred Years War, after which the mouth of the tidewater was closed every night with a great chain. The slim mouth of the Dart is protected by 2 prepared castles, Dartmouth Castle as well as Kingswear Castle. Originally Dartmouth's only jetty was Bayard's Cove, a relatively tiny area protected by a ft at the southerly end of the community.
