Kingsbridge
Kingsbridge is a market town and also tourist hub in the South Hams area of Devon, England, with a population of 6,116 at the 2011 census. Two electoral wards bear the name of Kingsbridge (East & North). Their consolidated population at the above census was 4,381. It is situated at the north end of the Kingsbridge Estuary, a ria that extends to the sea 6 miles south of the community. It is the third largest negotiation in the South Hams as well as is 32 miles (51 kilometres) south-southwest of Exeter. The community developed around a bridge which was built in or before the 10th century in between the imperial estates of Alvington, to the west, as well as Chillington, to the east, hence offering it the name of Kyngysbrygge ("King's bridge"). In 1219 the Abbot of Buckfast was granted the right to hold a market there, and also by 1238 the settlement had actually ended up being a borough. The mansion stayed in belongings of the abbot till the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when it was provided to Sir William Petre. Kingsbridge was never stood for in Parliament or incorporated by charter, the city government being by a portreeve. It lay within the thousand of Stanborough.
