Chudleigh Devon
The Ship Inn, Chudleigh Devon stands on the corner of Clifford Street (previously Mill Lane) and Fore Street. The Land Tax assessments for 1806–17 show the inn to be in the ownership of John Tuckett and that he was also residing there. In the first of those years the premises were described as an ale house. John Tuckett is shown in the 1798 town directory as a victualler and he was likely at the Ship then. In both 1806/07 John Tuckett also owned the Red Lion.

A William Wilson (probably Windsor) was in occupation as at 1811 as tenant of Mr John Tuckett. Eleven years later the inn made news as the wife of the landlord (Mrs Windsor) had been shot. The EFP of 3 October 1822 reported that the melancholy occurrence happened when a soldier of the 9th Lancers discharged his pistol attempting to dislodge soot from the chimney, however the shot hit Mrs Windsor who was standing opposite.
Thomas Hex then ran the premises from 1822 into the 1830s.
Charles Longman followed Thomas Hex (and was listed as leasehold in the 1837/38 Electoral Rolls) and present on the 1841 census but replaced by the Walter Wotton who was there by 1844 and stayed until 1878. Walter Wotton was the son of miller John Wotton who was at Palace Mill in the 1840s. He retired to live at Brunswick House in Chudleigh and died there on 15 May 1902 aged 94.
