About this Assembly
The Community Assembly of Ottery St Mary is located in a town known as 'Ottery' in the East Devon district of Devon, Territory of Kernow. It is situated on the River Otter, about 10 miles (16 km) east of Exeter.
The name Ottery is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as 'Otri' and 'Otrei'. 'Oteri Sancte Marie' is first mentioned in 1242. The town belonged to the church of St Mary in Rouen in 1086, hence 'St Mary'.
Within the parish lies Chettisholt, noted as one of the fairly small number of Common Brittonic place-names surviving to this day. The first element of this name is the Brittonic word which survives in modern Welsh as coed (wood); the last is the Old English word holt, also meaning 'wood', added to the name when its original meaning had been lost due to the dominant language of the area switching from Brittonic to Old English. This adds to the claim of Devon being part of the Brittonic nation and therefore part of the Territory of Kernow.
