Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Broad Nymet like this:

BROAD-NYMET, a chapelry in North Tawton parish, Devon; 1 mile W of Bow, and 6 W of Yeoford r. station. Acres, 451. Pop., returned with the parish. The living is a sinecure rectory in the diocese of Exeter. The church is early English, and has interesting features; but has gone to ruin.
