Full description
Devon County Council, 1838-1848, Tithe Mosaic, approximately 1838-1848 (Cartographic). SDV349431.
'Garlaven-ford' on the Tithe Map.

The present boundary of Throwleigh runs from White moor Stone to Hound Tor, thence to Wild-Tor-well; but the bounds of 1240 converge to the junction of the North Teign and Wallabrook, and it seems more obvious to pass from White more stone to Gallaven Ford, where the Throwleigh and Gidleigh bounds meet. The Earl's stone was probably either at Gallaven Ford, or at Wild-tor-well.
