Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Pomeroy Family, Vol. 3: Collateral Lines in Family Groups, Normandy, Great Britain and America; Comprising the Ancestors and Descendants of Eltweed Pomeroy From Beaminster County Dorset, England, 1631 The cottages of La Pommeraye are also ancient, and simple are the lives of the very few villagers. There is no visible evidence that there anciently ever were more cottages and inhabitants here than now; in all probability there were less. It is highly probable that when Ralph de La Pommeraye left there for England he took most of the cottagers with him, for they were his servants. A few hundred yards past the church is a modern dweiling formerly owned by a Madame Vauxville. It is a good country house with a well-kept garden; stables and kennels are on the opposite Side of the highway. At this point of the road we are in a hollow, with little or no view. A quarter of a mile further on, up a steep, hill one comes to a path leading into a wood on the right; and following this path for a few hundred yards, along the high ridge of the hill, we reach all that is left of the castle of La Pommeraye.
