The Community Assembly of Devon is historically known as Devonshire and is a ceremonial county in South West England and has a population of almost 1.2 million which is more than twice the population of its neighbour Kernow (Cornwall). The city of Plymouth is the largest settlement, and the city of Exeter is the county town.
In the Iron Age, Roman and the Sub-Roman periods (between the end of the Roman rule and the beginning of the Anglo Saxon Settlement), the county was the home of the Dumnonii who inhabited both Devon and Kernow. The Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain resulted in the partial assimilation of Dumnonia into the kingdom of Wessex in the eighth and ninth centuries, and the western boundary with Cornwall was set at the Tamar by king Æthelstan in 936.
This effectively split Dumnonia in two and created an extension to England. This explains why the Duchy of Cornwall is so much bigger in Devon than it is in Kernow and why the Stannary Parliament was effective in Devonshire long after it became part of Wessex.
The name Devon derives from the language of the Brythons who inhabited the southwestern area of the Island and is where we get the name the British Isles or Isle of the Brythons. Devon's place names include many with the endings "coombe/combe" and 'tor'. Both 'coombe' and 'tor' come from the old Gaelic for valley and tower.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
