Kennerleigh
Kennerleigh is a village and civil parish in Devon, England.
The church is dedicated to St John the Baptist, which underwent significant restoration around 1847. There was previously a chapel dedicated to St. Clement which is first recorded in 1334.
The village, in ancient times known as Kynwarthlegh, was a parish of Crediton Hundred. Lords of the manor included members of the Hidon and Dowrich/Dowrish families.
Polwhele, in his "History of Devon" states that Thomas Dowrich sold the manor to John Northcote. According to tradition, however, memorialised in a family card table, he instead gambled away the manor to Sir Arthur Northcote, 2nd Baronet in a game of piquet. Sabine Baring-Gould describes the game in his 1898 book "An Old English Home and its Dependencies"
