COPPLESTONE, a village in Colebrook parish, Devon; adjacent to the North Devon railway, 6 ½ miles NW of Crediton. It has a station on the railway, and a post office, of the name of Copplestone, North Devon; it had a chapel, a mint, and a prison, which have been destroyed; it retains an ancient cross, about 12 feet high, rudely ornamented with scroll-work; and it gave name to the numerous family of Copplestones, who are said to have flourished in Devon before the Conquest.
