Less than a mile from the church, within the parish bounds of the famous Dartmoor village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor, lies the tiny hamlet of Bonehill. This account of its history investigates field boundaries, ancient granite longhouses and extensive unpublished documents to reveal a story that sheds light on the evolution of many similar remote settlements on Dartmoor over the last 1,000 years. The book is illustrated with archive maps, prints and contemporary photographs.

the-Moor is sometimes said to be the
most visited village in England; this is undoubtedly
an exaggeration, although its name is well-known
throughout Britain and beyond. There is a huge
influx of visitors all year, as cars and coaches on the
roads and in the car parks testify, despite the many
narrow, tortuous, and steep access lanes. Walkers
abound along the lanes and in the pubs. On the
secondTuesday of each September, the traditional
Widecombe Fair (first recorded in October 1850)
and UncleTom Cobley and his grey mare attract
thousands of visitors.
The present book tells the story of the evolution
of one small hamlet, Bonehill, that lies in the Parish
ofWidecombe within the encircling Moor and
within sight ofWidecombe's famous church, known
as the `Cathedral of the Moor'. The history and
development of Bonehill is surprisingly complex,
but much of what the author has uncovered in
his research applies also to many of Dartmoor's
remote settlements. For this reason the story of
Bonehill, spanning ten centuries, will be of interest
to all those who have an interest in the history
of the moor.Ancient field boundaries, granite
Dartmoor-longhouses, and extensive unpublished
documents illuminate this book which is
highly illustrated with contemporary photographs,
original documents maps and prints
