| Summary: | Umberleigh weir is the last weir on the River Taw and is 284 m long. It was apparently built to provide water for Umberleigh Mill. The south part of the weir is carried by a wall incorporating two islands and is in Chittlehampton parish. The administrative division also reflects a manorial division, so that the sluices were in Brightley manor whilst the mill was in Umberleigh. This led to a series of disputes in the 16th to 19th centuries, after an initial agreement in 1260. |
