A short history of Okehampton
A Roman fort and fortlet lie near the centre. The Saxons founded the town and a record of 980 names it Ocmundtune, a place where slaves were freed at crossroads. The Domesday Book of 1086 lists Ochementone, an estate on the River Okement, with its large barony held by Baldwin FitzGilbert. He was the Norman Sheriff of Devon and established Okehampton Castle before his death in 1090. Maud d'Avranches held the barony until 1173 and her daughter Hawise de Curci inherited it. The town grew on the medieval wool trade. The Courtenay family rebuilt the castle until Henry VIII took their lands and executed Henry Courtenay, 1st Marquess of Exeter, in 1539. Three of the 23 listed buildings are Grade II*: the 15th century Chapel of St James, the 17th century Town Hall and Oaklands.
