Note: ‘TP’ is on the east side of Wild Tor.

Steve Mason, in Dartmoor News, Issue 129, explains that Throwleigh Parish once laid claim to Wild Tor which, as we know, is wholly on Duchy land and within the Forest of Dartmoor. To express their claim and legitimacy, Throwleigh had ‘TP’ inscribed on the east side of the tor. Today, the parish boundary runs to Wild Tor Well from Hound Tor, but it is fun to remember that this dispute once existed.
