“On the north side of the chancel are two lofty monuments of the 17th century. The one to the east is that of Sir William Periam, who was Chief Baron of the Exchequer in 1592 and died in 1605, aged 70. ...He retired to Fulford, now Shobrooke Park, in the Parish of Shobrooke, near Crediton.
The monument to the west is that of John Tuckfield, of Fulford, who came into possession of the place after the death of Sir William Periam. He died in 1630 at the age of 75. In the centre is a full-length figures of his wife, her hands resting on a skull, and on either side, busts of himself and son. There are three inscriptions; in the centre:— To the memory of Elizabeth the wife of Thomas Tuckfield of Fulford Esq. by whom he had three sonnes John, Thomas, and Walther, and daughter of Richard Reynel of Credye Esq by Mary daughter and heir of John Peryam Esq.”340

“When George Losemore snr. died Robert, his second son, now heir to the family estates and still a bachelor at 33 years old, must have been a worthwhile marriage prospect given the unsentimental, even calculating, attitudes of the time.  In a little over two months he had married Mary, a daughter of John Peryam of Exeter and his wife Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of Robert Hone of Ottery St. Mary.  The Tiverton parish register entry merely records that on 24 January 1561/2 Robert Loosemore was married, there being no mention at all of his bride.  However Westcote, writing before 1630 states, in discussing the Peryam family, that Mary, one of the four daughters of John Peryam and his wife was married to ‘Loosemore of Tiverton’.  As we have seen, this could not have referred to George the eldest son and we may accept with confidence that Robert was intended.  It was a good match, as Mary’s brother William was destined for high office in the law.  He was appointed a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in February 1581 and knighted in January 1593.  The marriage of his sister Mary makes it easy to understand why (Sir) William, as Robert’s brother-in-law, later took a mortgage on his manor of Templeton and why, when Robert came to sell this property and his other manor of Aller Peverell, they were both bought by the same William Peryam.
