A couple of miles outside Bow in the Crediton direction is the small Parish of Clannaborough.
The 16th century church, dedicated to St Petrock, is at the North end of a narrow strip of land stretching 6 miles to the South, making up just 874 acres.
For about three hundred years from 1654 Clannaborough was the home to the Wreford family.
William Wreford (1781-1852) "found drowned"
Robert Phayre (1853-1886) shot dead by insurgents in Burma
