St. David's, Exeter - location question

Thanks, Gadget!

Hi, just wanted to add a local perspective- St David’s will refer to the parish or neighbourhood (still referred to as such today), not the train station nor one of the streets carrying the name. The station and the streets took their names from the parish church. Putting his residence at St David’s will not mean the train station or its premises. If he wasn’t in town for long, perhaps he was living at a boarding house or guest house; common in St David’s due to the railway and the road to Crediton within the parish - somewhere non-permanent given his almost non-committal, broad use of St David’s.

I think that my Replies #2 and #4 explain this. Also, Kevin's link to the description of the parish #3 also describes the parish of St Davids.

I can reply if I want to
