About This History Project and Website

Combemartinvillage.co.uk is a Non-Profit and Non-Commercial Community Website, copyright ©2023-2024 All Rights Reserved. Managed by Combe Martin History and Heritage Project and first published in March 2023 with a secure connection: this platform is primarily a local history project.

This website can easily be translated into several languages using Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, and other tools.

While we may promote Combe Martin and North Devon, we are not a tourism website. Our collection of curated, referenced content and original articles, posted in good faith, are copyright © 2023-2024 All Rights Reserved. To a limited extent we may include some hearsay and local folklore.

We welcome contributors from everywhere, including residents of Combe Martin and the local area. We are not affiliated to any other website or organisation. For accuracy, we draw from primary sources, authoritative antiquaries, academics and records.

While we strive for high standards, our articles are not designed for formal education. We write all our own semi-academic papers, providing evidence to the best of our knowledge. In addition, we sometimes create pictures using AI technology.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We strive to ensure that every individual feels welcomed, included, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and capabilities. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is not just a moral responsibility; it is an imperative that drives innovation, creativity, and success.

To allow the reader to gain an understanding of such a broad historical metanarrative: our pages comprise standalone articles, each one exploring aspects of Combe Martin's long and varied story. Our original articles can all be read in isolation but they also form an overarching narrative.

Preserving Combe Martin's History and Heritage

This community history project strives to preserve the written and anecdotal history of Combe Martin, ensuring its availability for future generations. While significant and often damaging changes continue to impact Combe Martin, and local knowledge fades, there is an existential risk of losing its unique social history. Our local architecture, heritage and ancestral stories are of primary importance.
