Bridestowe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bridestowe is a village in West Devon, England. It is located outside Okehampton on the edge of Dartmoor. Its population in 2001 was 552, although it had been over twice as large in the early 19th century. The name derives from Saint Bride, who is featured in a church window.
Bidlake is an Elzabethan mansion a mile away. The church is mostly 13th and 15th century, with some Norman fragments.
There are disused mineworks nearby, which once produced lead and copper.
