	GENUKI: Devonshire
		The chief rivers of Devonshire are the Exe, which rises in Exmoor, in Somersetshire, and entering Devon near Bampton, passes Tiverton and Exeter, and at Topsham commences to be a tidal river.
		The length of the river is 36 miles, and it is navigable as far as Totnes, to which point the tide reaches.
		As far W. as the Axe the cliffs are principally chalk, but westward of that river the chalk gradually disappears., On the borders of Dorset, and on Blackdown, greensand is found, and in the higher part of the Axe and Yart, lias.

		West of the Parret many of the words are pro- nounced very differently indeed, so as to mark strongly the people who use them.
		The chief peculiarity West of the Parret, is the ending of the third person singular, present tense of verbs, in ih or eth : as, he lov'ih, zee'th, andc., for he loves, sees, andc.
		West of the Parret this insect is called wock- wÃ©b, oak-web, because it infests the oak, and spins, its web on it in great numbers.

	Pixy Folk
		I believe that part of this legend is a retelling of the Roman invasion itself, with the Romans unable to progress through Scotland due to the attacks of the Picts.
		This certainly sounds like a pixy to me. He also speaks of himself as "the oldest Old Thing in England", and explains his uniqueness in that he is not affected by "Salt, or Horse-shoes over a door, or Mountain-ash berries, or Running Water, or Cold Iron, or the sound of Church Bells".
		All of which are supposed to dissuade pixies from their mischievous antics, although I know of many who enjoy the sound of bells and swimming in the river.

	"The history never written: bards, druids, and the problem of antiquarianism in 'Poly Olbion.' by John E. Curran Jr.
		Each one of these defenses is placed near the end of a long speech by a river: the river Dee and the river Wye both conclude their orations with apologies for Geoffrey of Monmouth (10.219-307; 6.275-340).
		In Song 10, admiring the river Conway, Drayton attempts to recreate a scene of the old prophet sharing his knowledge (13-40).
		Also, Drayton's Parret prophecy touches the conflict between the Saxons and the Britons, suggesting either that the druids foresaw the conflict or that they lived to become embroiled in it.

	Alauna
		Further, there is the matter of Ptolemy's River Alaunus (II 3 3), which as PNRB notes 'should be the Axe'.
		The River Alham, a tributary of the Brue, was once known as Alauna (ERN pp 3-4).
		Alaunus would be on Ptolemy's Alaunus river (apparently the Axe) along Margary 49 which would place it at Seaton's Honeyditches Roman port and settlement SY2490.

		Bridgwater sits on the edge of the Somerset Levels and was built around the lowest crossing point of the River Parret.
		That was a quote from a book called the Discworld Companion about the River Ankh, anyone who has ever read the Discworld books and been to Bridgwater will understand my comparison between the Ankh and the Parret.
		For anyone that hasn't done either the best way to describe it is like a river of thick dark gravy.

		All day we trudged along roads which were quagmires, over our ankles in mud, until in the evening we made our way to Bridgewater, where we gained some recruits, and also some hundred pounds for our military chest, for it was a well-to-do place, with a thriving coast trade carried on down the River Parret.
		All day it was splashing and swashing through mud and mire, the rain-drops shining on the gun-barrels and dripping from the heavy-footed horses.
		Past the swollen Parret, through Eastover, by the peaceful village of Bawdrip, and over Polden Hill we made our way, until the bugles sounded a halt under the groves of Ashcot, and a rude meal was served out to the men.

		That evening we were at Keynsham Bridge, less than two leagues from Bristol as the crow flies, and some of our horse forded the river and pushed on almost to the walls.
		By morning the rain clouds had at last cleared, so Reuben and I rode slowly up one of the sloping green hills which rose behind the camp, in the hope of gaining some sight of the enemy.
		The sun gleamed and the river rippled as ever, and there was nothing save the long litter of men and horses to mark the course of the hell blast which had broken so suddenly upon us.

		Whilst to the south there is Taunton and the hills around High Ham and Curry Rivel.
		The land that we call the Levels is at sea level and much is below with lots of rivers feeding in to it.
		This means the area is very wet and if it were not for the medieval drainage systems of droves, rhines, drains, clysts (gates) and walls, it would be permanently flooded.

		Marshal de Noailles on his return from the other side of the river Mayn, found no efforts he could make would retrieve his fortunes, so he gave the order to retreat.
		The Allies spurred on by victory and the knowledge that the king was at their head, and inspired by his presence and exertions, fell upon the French and slew them to the extent of about 5,000.

		Now while I wondered what this might mean, those two nearer lights began to creep in towards the haven, closer and closer, and as they did so, flashed up again, and answering flashes came from the other places.
		“If they be honest vessels,” thought I, all of a sudden, “why do they hide their lights?” for often had I seen the trading busses pass up our Parret river at night with bright torches burning on deck.
		But I could do nothing. The town was too evidently in the hands of the enemy, and I could only climb up the hill again, and watch where the ships went, perhaps, as I had seen them come.
