Winkleigh has been a prominent settlement since before the Conquest when it was held by Brictric of Gloucester. In 1086 it was a royal manor probably belonging to Matilda, the king's wife, with 60 villagers & their families, land for 40 ploughs & a deer park (see PRN 64344). At an early date it was divided into two manors known as Winkleigh Keynes & Winkleigh Tracey (see PRN 1123 & PRN 1124) & became a borough in 1237 (see PRN 21763).
