Heritage and Social History
Heritage and social history are crucial for communities and shared experiences. They provide learning opportunities, support local economies, promote environmental sustainability, and sustain the collective memory.
Lessons drawn from heritage and social history can meaningfully shape contemporary decision-making, public policy, and long-term planning.
Heritage and social history are not just local or regional concerns. They hold broad-ranging value; preserving cultural diversity, advancing scholarly pursuits, promoting human rights, and shaping a more informed and just future.
Combe Martin today faces the important challenge of preserving its social and industrial legacy, as well as safeguarding the physical reminders of its storied past.
What We Do
Neither this website nor any of the team are involved in any commercial activities through this website or for this project. We are not purchasing goods and services, selling merchandise or processing payments.
While we may promote Combe Martin and North Devon, we are not a tourism website. Our collection of curated, referenced content and original articles, posted in good faith, are copyright © 2023-2024 All Rights Reserved. To a limited extent we may include some hearsay and local folklore.
We welcome contributors from everywhere, including residents of Combe Martin and the local area. We are not affiliated to any other website or organisation. For accuracy, we draw from primary and secondary sources, authoritative antiquaries, academics and records.
While we strive for high standards, our articles are not designed for formal education. We write all our own semi-academic papers, providing evidence to the best of our knowledge. In addition, we sometimes create pictures using AI technology.
We do welcome your comments and materials by email. Personal histories, family stories, photos or other primary sources can only enhance this platform, and foster community engagement. Contributors are free to remain anonymous, but we are not processing business enquiries or Spam.
We're also happy to exchange reciprocal links on mutually agreeable terms. Other than business or partnership inquiries, we welcome user involvement. Contact our Site Admin for more details.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
We strive to ensure that every individual feels welcomed, included, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and capabilities. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is not just a moral responsibility; it is an imperative that drives innovation, creativity, and success.

An Overarching Narrative
To allow the reader to gain an understanding of such a broad historical metanarrative: our pages comprise standalone articles, each one exploring aspects of Combe Martin's long and varied story. Our original articles can all be read in isolation but they also form an overarching narrative.
Preserving Combe Martin's History and Heritage
This community history project strives to preserve the written and anecdotal history of Combe Martin, ensuring its availability for future generations. While significant and often damaging changes continue to impact Combe Martin, and local knowledge fades, there is an existential risk of losing its unique social history. Our local architecture, heritage and ancestral stories are of primary importance.
