A Look into Stokeinteignhead's Past

Stokeinteignhead was mentioned in the Domesday Book, but back then it was called “Ten Hide” due to the fact that 13 manors and their area totalled to up to ten hides (“hide” being a unit of measurement for land in the medieval times; it equals to around 120 acres). Eventually, its name was changed to Teignhead and ultimately to its current name Stokeinteignhead.
