Holsworthy Devon is a busy market town serving large area of rural
Devon. Standing in the centre of an underdeveloped part of the region,
an ancient bleak landscape of narrow lanes and rolling hills with
isolated farms, and hamlets with old cottages.
A plaque commemorating the great tree of Holsworthy stands at the corner
of Friars Street, from which a Royal Charter was given in 1154 for the
annual proclamation of St.Peters Fair held in July.
The pretty Maid Ceremony is another custom associated with Holsworthy. In 1841 a sum of money was left so that a single local woman under the age of 30, pretty, quiet with good attendance at church, could be given a small financial reward.
