HEVYTREE, (Devon) 1 m. and half without the E. gate of Exeter, to which city it is the Tyburn, or common place of
execution, and from thence it is supposed to have the name. Here is a plat of ground inclosed for the interment of the
bodies that are hanged on its gallows, and land appropriated to buy them shrowds by the relict of Mr. Tuckfield, a
merchant of Exeter, in the R. of Edw. VI. An almsho. for 12 poor old people was begun by Sir Rob. Dennis in this p. in
1492, and finished by his son. The manor of this place has long been in the family of Kelly.
