Or. 20p.; in the archdeaconry of Totnes, diocese of Exeter, Southe Devonshire, on the banks of the river Tavy, from whence the name, 9 miles north-east from Callington, 14 south-east from Launceston, 15 north from Plymouth, 23 west from Ashburton, 33 south-west from Exeter, and 210 from London, on the Launceston and South Devon Railway, at which it has a station.   This was a prescriptive borough from a very early period, and sent members to parliament in the reign of Edward I., and continued to exercise the franchise uninterruptedly from the reign of Edward III., returning two members to Parliament until the passing of the Reform Bill of 1868, when it was restricted to one member. It is a Parliamentary borough only, never having had municipal privileges. The whole of the parish is included in the borough with exception of the manor of Cudlippton, about 5 miles north-east, and the portreeve is the returning officer.   During the wars between Charles I. and his Parliament, Tavistock was considerably excited, as the Duke of Bedford, with the celebrated Pym, one of the members for the borough, and most of the burgesses declared for the Parliament, whilst the neighbouring gentry continued true to the Crown; but the town does not appear to have been garrisoned with the exception of Fitzford House, at the west end of the town, the ancient seat of the Grenvilles, which was taken by the Earl of Essex, with £3000 in cash and 1000 stand of arms. During the blockading of Plymouth by the Royalists several councils were held here by Prince Charles, and the King passed through with hia army on his way to Cornwall.   An ABBEY was founded here in 961, by Orgar, Earl of Devon, father of the beautiful Lady Elfrida, King Edgar's Queen. It was noted as one of the most celebrated for learning, and possessed a printing press, believed to be the second which was set up in England. In 1514 the Abbot, Richard Banham, obtained for himself and successors a seat in Parliament, and also a bull from Pope Leo X., exempting the abbey from episcopal jurisdiction. On the dissolution by Henry VIII. the revenues were valued at £902 5s. 7d. per annum, a very large sum in those days; and about 1539 it was granted by that monarch to Lord John Russell, whose descendant, the present Duke of Bedford, is now the owner. The 'Bedford Hotel' comprises a portion of this once celebrated abbey, including the refectory and other parts.   The GUILDHALL is a handsome edifice, erected in 1848 by the Duke of Bedford, on another portion of the abbey site, and in imitation of the style of the original abbey. The ancient gateway has been restored and is still preserved.   The DEVON and CORNWALL BANKING COMPANY have recently erected a handsome building in West Street, as a branch bank, in place of the old and inconvenient premises formerly occupied by them. The new building forms one of a series of similar structures that have been erected in the principal towns of the two western counties, and combines a convenient residence for the manager, with spacious apartments and offices for banking purposes. The works are substantially executed, all the masonry being built in blue lias mortar. The principal front (towards West Street) is of fine wrought granite, the whole height of the lower or ground-floor story, and the remainder of the front, is executed in wrought stone from Hurdwick quarry, near Tavistock, the property of His Grace the Duke of Bedford. The dressing to the windows and the parapet are of Portland stone; all the front windows are glazed with polished plate glass, and the lower windows are fitted with Clark and Co.'s iron revolving shutters. The principal staircase and hall floor are laid with Maw and Co.'s tiles, arranged in simple but tasteful designs. All the wood-work of the staircase, and the best portions of the interior, are executed principally in pitch pine, with a slight admixture of wainscot. The whole of the works have been carried out by Mr. H. Blatchford, of Tavistiock, from the designs and under the superintendence of Mr. H. Elliott, of Plymoth, architect, at a total cost of about £2000.   The DISPENSARY, supported by voluntary contributions, is held in the Abbey Buildings.   This town is the centre of a considerable mining district, and silver-lead, manganese, tin, copper, &c., are produced in great quantities.   The CHURCH is a large ancient edifice, dedicated to St. Eustachius, consisting of nave, chancel, north and two south ailes, chancel with ailes, and a tower containing a peal of eight bells, and a clock with chimes playing every three hours. The chancel contains an alabaster monument to the memory of Sir John Glanville, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, who died in 1600. The vicarage, in the incumbency of the Rev. John Osborne Tancock, D.C.L., is valued at £302 per annum, with residence, and is in the patronage of the Duke of Bedford, who is also impropriator of the rectorial tithes.   ST. PAUL'S, at Gulworthy, is a district church, which was erected by the Duke of Bedford, in 1854. The vicarage, in the incumbency of the Rev. Daniel Pring Alford, M.A., is valued at £150 per annum, with residence, and is in the patronage of the Duke of Bedford.   A handsome church has also been erected by the Duke of Bedford at the west end of the town; it is in the Romanesque style, and consists of nave, chancel, north and south leah-to aisles, with a noble detached tower; it will hold between 600 and 700 people, and half the sittings are free. The total cost was about £12,000. The rev. John Haley, M.A., is the curate.   The Unitarians have a place of worship in a portion of the Old Abbey, formerly the Abbots' Hall, and the Bible Christians, Independents, Plymouth Brethren, Socirty of Friends, and the United Methodist Free Church have each places of worship here.   The GRAMMAR SCHOOL is a large and elegant building, which was erected by the Duke of Bedford, in 1837, the former Grammar School, which was part of the old vicarage premises, having been taken down for the enlargement of the churchyard. The Duke of Bedford allows £50 per annum to the head master, and £30 per annum to each of the two assistant masters; and the head master receives £4 per annum from the trustees of Ford Street Charity. The pupils receive a good classical and general education for five guineas per annum, and there is an exhibition of £50 per annum, called the Glanville Exhibition, for youths natives of the town.   KELLY COLLEGE is about to be established here.   There are National Schools for children of both sexes, in the Dolvin Road, which were erected in 1847; and British Schools were erected in Abbey Mead, by the Duke of Bedford, in 1856.   The poor have two extensive charitable bequests, one left by Nicholas Watts, in 1674 which produces about £300 per annum; it is vested in trustees, and the amount distributed amongst the poor annually; and the Ford Street Charity, which was purchased by the Duke of Bedford some years ago, who pays £150 per annum to the trustees, which is also distributed for charitable purposes.   The Duke of Bedford is lord of the manor, and holds annual Courts Leet and Baron, at which a portreeve and other officers are appointed.   The Market Buildings were erected by the Duke of Bedford, in 1858, and extend over two acres of ground.   The Corn Market was erected in 1839. The Cattle Market is held at Crelake, near the Railway Station.   The Market Days are on Tuesday and Friday, the latter being the principal one for corn and general produce; and cattle fairs are held on the second Wednesday in January, March, May, July, September, October, and November, the third Wednesday in August, and the first Wednesday in December. Races are held annually in May. TOP __________________     Clergy, Gentry, and Private Residents. Abbott Capt. J.A., R.N., 4 Devonshire terrace Alford Rev.
