Kingsbridge
Kingsbridge is a market community as well as traveler center in the South Hams district of Devon, England, with a population of 6,116 at the 2011 census. Two selecting wards birth the name of Kingsbridge (East & North). Their combined population at the above census was 4,381. It is positioned at the north end of the Kingsbridge Estuary, a ria that extends to the sea 6 miles south of the town. It is the third biggest negotiation in the South Hams and also is 32 miles (51 kilometres) south-southwest of Exeter. The town developed around a bridge which was integrated in or before the 10th century between the imperial estates of Alvington, to the west, and Chillington, to the east, thus offering it the name of Kyngysbrygge ("King's bridge"). In 1219 the Abbot of Buckfast was provided the right to hold a market there, and by 1238 the negotiation had actually ended up being a district. The mansion remained in possession of the abbot till the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when it was given to Sir William Petre. Kingsbridge was never ever stood for in Parliament or integrated by charter, the local government being by a portreeve. It lay within the hundred of Stanborough.
