In the reign of Edward III, one Child [sic] of Plimstock, a man of large possessions, hunting in the winter season on the trackless waste of Dartmoor, lost his way, and being pressed by the extremity of cold, killed his horse, embowelled him, and crept into his carcase [sic] for shelter ; but seeing little chance of preservation by this expedient, he at the same time made his will in the following terms, using some of the blood of his steed for ink :
"He that finds and brings me to my tomb,
"My lands which are at Plimstock shall be his doom."
