Pete was a wonderful photographer and well known around Tavistock with his camera. Hannah was also a good photographer. Sadly Pete died from a heart attack.

   How many dukes did Tavistock have?

   • Five earls and 11 dukes had discharged the duties, and enjoyed the benefits, of ownership of the property, and of the power and patronage that went with it.

   What did Doble say about the Tavistock Council Act?

   • At one point Doble, exasperated by the delay, called the duke's attitude 'absurd and unreasonable'. It was not until late April that an agreement was signed. Before the end of the parliamentary session the Tavistock Council Act was on the statute-book, and the way was cleared for the arbitration to proceed.
