Cemetery, Houses and Farms, Institutions and Buildings, Landmarks
I hope, in time, to find out more about each house and family. Have you looked at a house history in Sticklepath? Do you have a photograph either recent or historical? Do you know of a name change for example – this can be very helpful. Could you write something to add to this page (of course acknowledging your work). I would love this to be a collaborative project. Alternatively can we link to your work elsewhere about Sticklepath? Contact shields_h_f@hotmail.com All items however brief, stories, photos or facts welcome. If you are starting research about something Sticklepath, do contact me as I have much more not yet on the website.
Some ideas about how to start a Sticklepath house history can be found here
Some further suggested starting points for a house history include https://www.househistoryhour.co.uk, http://www.tracemyhouse.com, and if you have questions after that join #HouseHistoryHour on Twitter each Thursday 7-8pm (London time) each week, lots of experts to help!

Note Sticklepath residents are commonly interred in Belstone, South Tawton or Sampford Courtenay Parish Churchyards and Non-Conformists particularly may be in Okehampton.
