In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Lewdown like this:
LEWDOWN, a village in Lew-Trenchard, Marystow, and Thrushelton parishes, Devon; 8 miles N by W of Tavistock. It has a post office, designated Lewdown, North Devon, and a cattle fair on the Wednesday before the third Thursday of April.
Lewdown 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 Lewdown itself, go to Statistics.
