 Devon Notes and Queries* 221 his Armory ; or they may be the arms of Sir Thomas Rosceline, 'whose daughter and heiress Joan married John Willoughby. John, 3rd Lord Willoughby de Eresby, married Cicely, daughter of Robert de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk, and their son Robert inherited as one of the heirs of his uncle, William de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk ; possibly some of the five quarters following were brought in by that marriage.

The wooden bridge she mentions below Collipriest, across the Exe, was at Ashley turnpike gate, half a mile below the town, and was a private bridge erected by Mr. Winsloe in 1773. The road from it led only to Collipriest House : see Blackmore's map of Tiverton, dated 1777, now hanging in the Town Hall. This bridge, of which I have a plan, was washed away in the flood of 1809. There was no riverside road or walk before the present carriage drive was made and the lodge gates erected at the beginning of the last century by the owner of Collipriest. There was no law suit about the lodge gates or road, and by an agreement dated January 23rd, 1794) and a previous award
