Meavy is a small village, civil parish and former manor in the English county of Devon. Meavy forms part of the district of West Devon. It lies a mile or so east of Yelverton. The River Meavy runs near the village. For administrative purposes the parish is grouped with the parishes of Sheepstor and Walkhampton to form Burrator Parish Council,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Burrator Parish Council )〕 and for electoral purposes it is grouped with the same two parishes to form Burrator Ward.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statutory Instrument 1999 No. 2473 )〕 ==Buildings== ;Parish church The parish church of St Peter is at least partly Norman with additions of the 13th and 15th centuries. There is a reredos of 1884 by J.D. Sedding and a foliated churchyard cross. The oak tree on the village green in front of the churchyard wall is known as the Meavy Oak and was described by John Claudius Loudon in his ''Arboretum'' of 1838; the tree may be over 900 years old. Next to the church is an unremarkable manor house of the Drake family.〔Pevsner, N. (1952) ''South Devon''. Penguin Books〕 ;Royal Oak Inn The Royal Oak Inn dates to the late 15th century, and is owned by the civil parish of Burrator, with the profits being used by the parish council to fund projects within the parish. Some of the seating consists of pews formerly located in the nearby church. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meavy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
