bullet  General Notes:

Barbera Winifred Murray GOODALL, wrote on the back of the picture of Ralph Barnes that he was born in 1731 and died in 1820. He was the third son (child) of Henry and Anne Barnes. Ralph was Chancellor of Diocese of Exeter, Archdeacon of Totnes, Vicar of Haevitree & Harburton.

From [Notes on Devon Churches]
"Much emphasis is laid on the circumstance that Archdeacon Barnes resided in his Vicarage, which incumbents of his time were prone not to do. But the epitaph does not add that he was also Rector of Bratton-Clovelly, and the Vicar of Heavitree, in which benefices he did not reside. Like other incumbents of his time, he had several benefices, and resided in the most agreeable of them, leaving curates to do their best in less comfortable dwellings" 7 8
