The Drakes of Aishe
Drakes of Aishe (Musbury, South East Devon) and their link to that most famous and notorious maritime voyager, Sir Francis Drake. There was a famous incident at court, in London, where Sir Francis received a boxed ear from an annoyed Barnard Drake (member of the Drakes of Aishe) – we elaborate! Also, of particular interest is the Drake Memorial at Musbury Church which contains effigies of three generations on a single monument. It’s a truly stunning piece of visual history that’s worthy of a visit.
