Poughill
Poughill (pronounced "po-il") is a village and civil parish in Devon, England. It lies 5 miles (8 km) north of Crediton. In 2011, the parish had a population of 216.
Anciently, Poughill was held by the Poughill or Poghill family and was recorded in the Domesday book in 1086. The topynym, recorded in the Domesday Book as Pochehille, is either from the Old English pohha "pouch" and hyll "hill", meaning "hill by a pouch or hollow", or from a man named Pohha.
The historical map of Poughill (in 1945) shows a number of contour lines where land reaches 600 feet above sea level. This variation in relief is shown today, particularly in the image of Poughill towards the Cheriton Fitzpaine.
