The sole entry for Havell in the churchwarden's records of Plymtree is that of John Havell who in 1618 paid a triple rate of 21d. to help repair the church for Weaver Mills.

The River Weaver runs north from Plymtree towards the River Culm and, in the 17th century, there were a number of 'tucking mills' that used water power to improve the woollen cloth which was made in the area.

Unfortunately there are no other references to either John Havell or the Mills as the churchwardens' accounts for this period were on loose sheets of paper, and many of those for the northern part of the parish (which included Weaver) have not survived or have been lost.

Apart from the families listed above the Plymtree parish records include the marriages of a George Havill. Although the records go back to 1538, no baptism for George can be found which suggests he was probably born in Whimple.
