Full description
Bampton, J. + Morris, B., 15/06/2015, Land off Muxbeare Lane, Willand (Report - Evaluation). SDV359294.
The Manor of Muxbeare is first documented in 1086, where it is listed as Mochelesberia (‘Mucel’s Wood’ EPNS 549). In 1066 it was held by five thanes freely and jointly from one Brictric. It paid tax on one hide, but had land for 5 ploughs and possessed pasture four furlongs long by two wide, presumably Willand Common. By 1086 it had been transferred to Ansger of Montecute. Later, it was held by the
Calleway (Kelloway) Family and passed by sale to Richard Calmady in the 1500s. In 1678 William Shere was in possession, and from the early 18th century into the 20th century was held by the Clarkes of Bridwell. In the 1332 Lay Subsidy Roll there were 12 individuals liable to pay tax at Muxbeare, implying is was a substantial settlement. A chapel to St Margaret was founded in the medieval period, but ruinous by 1730, mirroring the decline of the settlement relative to Willand and other, more prosperous, settlements.
