History

The village was probably founded 2,500 years ago in the Iron Age, with evidence of two hill forts on either side of Cockington valley. Little is known about Cockington, from that point up until the remains of a small Saxon village were found near the Drum Inn. The evidence from this village shows that it was primarily a fishing and farming village. The first official documentation of the village was in the 10th century, declaring that the village was an estate belonging to the Cockington family, who owned the estate from 1078 to 1348. They then sold it onto the Cary family in 1348, who then sold it to the Mallock family in 1645, a family of rich silversmiths from Exeter. The Mallock family then sold the estate to the Torquay Corporation, in 1931. Masouleh village, Gilan Province, Iran. ...
