PARISH OF OTTEEHAM. 279 



received preferment in Devonshire, and his connection with 

 Otterhani consequently ceased. Mr. Shepherd, however, his 

 successor, entered with great zeal upon the work of rendering 

 the parish church suitable for divine service. This has caused 

 many inevitable changes, but we are informed that the church 

 has been rebuilt upon the old foundations, and that much of the 

 old granite work has been re-used in the new building. 



School. 

 There is no school in the Parish of Otterham. The children, 

 together with those of the Parish of Lesnewth, attend the 

 National School at St. Juliet, and representatives from Otterham 

 and Lesnewth are on the Board of Management, the Rector of 

 St. Juliet being the chairman. 



The Paksonage House. 



The present parsonage house was built about 40 years ago, 

 during the incumbency of the Pev. Grlanvill Martin now (1893), 

 Vicar of Halwell, near Totnes. It is within a few yards of the 

 site of the old parsonage, which was then taken down. It is a 

 well-built and convenient residence, surrounded by trees with a 

 pretty lawn sloping down to a large sheet of water, ornamented 

 by some of the finest beeches in the neighbourhood, and by a 

 pair of swans and other water fowl, and stocked with gold fish 

 and carp. The house is within two minutes walk of the church. 



We must not conclude these remarks without tendering ou.r 

 warm thanks to the Pev. W. Dunstan Pundle, the late, and to 

 the Pev. E. H. A. Shepherd, the present, Pector, for much 

 assistance very kindly given in their preparation.
