Interesting point regarding Ottery St Catchpole, 'Ottery' implies that
it is on the Otter River which is where Ottery St Mary is. Also, just
outside the village of Ottery St Mary is a historic farm that you can
visit called Burrow Hill Farm.
The Ottery River runs south along side Highway A30 just west of
Exeter, and empties into the English Channel between the coastal
cities of Exmouth and Sidmouth.
If you go to Multimaps.com and zoom in on Ottery St Mary, you will
find Burrow Hill Farm just a short distance south east of the village.
