Ashburton was by far the smallest and probably also the poorest of the parliamentary boroughs of Devon. It sent representatives to only two Parliaments before the 17th century: those of 1295 and 1407. However, the situation improved after the Long Parliament of 1640. Pearson's paper presents a detailed account of the town's representation from that date. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
