Widecombe, or Withecombe Ralegh

WIDCOMBE, or WITHECOMBE RALEGH, in the hundred of East Budleigh and in the 
deanery of Aylesbeare, adjoins the parish of Exmouth, and comprises part of that 
town, called Withecombe Exmouth.

The manor of Withecombe Ralegh, formerly called Withecombe Clavill, belonged 
anciently to the Clavills, who held it at the time of the Domesday survey, and 
afterwards, for many descents, to the Raleghs. In 1756 it was in the family of Bassett, 
from whom it passed, by successive sales, to Jackson and Cutler. It is now the 
property of Edward Divett, Esq., whose father purchased it in the year 1801. Westcote 
says that this manor was held by the service of finding the King two good arrows stuck 
in an oaten cake whenever he should hunt in Dartmoor.

NOTE: I don't know when the Raleigh family took possession of Withycombe. 
However I don't find any history of the Clavill family around this time, other than 
Walter, the domesday holder. Therefore I am assuming that Walter died without male 
issue, and the transfer to the Raleigh family took place in the 1st generation. There 
was another Claville family member, Robert who held land in Suffolk, of Robert Malet 
in 1086, so the family name probably carried on.
