As seen on Mural monument to John Davie, 3rd Baronet (1660-1692) of Creedy, Sandford. North wall of chancel, Sandford Church. See File:JohnDavie 3rdBaronet Died1692 SandfordChurch Devon.PNG In Roborough church survive two bench ends showing A bend between two owls, which J. Whitmarsh commented on in "The Western Antiquary", Wright, W.H.K., (ed.), Vol.4, June 1884-May 1885, Plymouth, 1885, p.164 [1] as follows: "But what of the bend between two owls found on two bench ends? Not far from the church there is an estate called Owlacombe, occupied by Mr. Wadland. It was once called "Over Woollacombe". [sic, Over-Wollacombe is a separate estate in the parish of Roborough, today known as "Combe", anciently the seat of the Wollocombe family, which originated at Wollocombe in the parish of Mortehoe] For centuries after the Norman Conquest it was owned by the Woollacombes. [sic, Owlacombe was inherited by marriage by the Davie family, formerly of nearby Way in the parish of St Giles-in-the-Wood] Did this name in any way suggest the bend between two owls? Our old church builders were very imaginative in some of their ideas, and fertile in inventive projects by which to commemorate names, deeds, and events".
