In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described South Zeal like this:
ZEAL (South), a village in South Tawton parish, Devon; 4¼ miles ESE of Okehampton. It was once a borough and a market-town; and it has a fine granite cross, a Wesleyan chapel, and an old school house supposed to have been a Roman Catholic chapel.
South Zeal is now part of WEST DEVON District. Click here for graphs and data of how WEST DEVON has changed over two centuries. For statistics about South Zeal itself, go to Statistics.
