WITHERIDGE

Witheridge, A Village and Parish in Devon provides a detailed history of the Village and Parish of Witheridge which spans the Centuries with a range of events... The 1914-1918 war hit us hard, and afterwards some emigrated, following in the steps of those who had gone in the reign of Edward VII. Locals and evacuees alike remember the 1939-1945 war. Afterwards, the population fell below 700 for the first time for 200 years. Since then it has doubled, and today we have a thriving community, with employment, new housing, community facilities and a range of organisations. People here have always had a certain independence of mind, and we look forward to the future with confidence.
