HATHERLEIGH (St. John the Baptist), a market-town and '''parish''', in the union of Oakhampton, hundred of Black Torrington, Black Torrington and Shebbear, and N. divisions of Devon, 29 miles (W. N. W.) from Exeter. This place appears to have been formerly a borough, and to have enjoyed a separate jurisdiction: until within a comparatively recent period there was a pillory in the town. Here are places of worship for '''Baptists''', '''Bible Christians''', and '''Plymouth Brethren'''. <ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=51013&amp;strquery=Hatherleigh A Topographical Dictionary of England]'' (1848), pp. 435-441.</ref> | HATHERLEIGH (St. John the Baptist), a market-town and '''parish''', in the union of Oakhampton, hundred of Black Torrington, Black Torrington and Shebbear, and N. divisions of Devon, 29 miles (W.
