BRADNINCH (St. Disen), a town and parish, having separate jurisdiction, in the union of Tiverton, locally in the hundred of Hayridge, N. division of Devon, 8 miles (N. E.) from Exeter, and 170 (W.) from London. This place, anciently called Braineis, was of some importance in the time of the Saxons: in the reign of John it received many privileges, which were increased by Henry III.; and in the reign of Edward III. it was annexed to the duchy of Cornwall. In this and in the preceding reign it sent representatives to parliament, from which, on account of its poverty, it was excused in the time of Henry VII., on the payment of a fine of five marks.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=51253&amp;amp;amp;amp;strquery=Salterton A Topographical Dictionary of England]'' (1848), pp. 326-331.</ref> | |||
