Stockland
Stockland parish was within the Hundred of Whitchurch (anciently Whitway) in the county of Dorset until 1842. 
In that year it was transferred to Devon in exchange for Thorncombe.
Although the Parish Registers survive, many other parish records for Stockland were lost in two disastorous fires.
