Comments: Devonshire is a large county in southwestern England, bounded on the south by the English Channel, on the north by Bristol Channel, in the west by Cornwall , and in the east by Somerset and Dorset. During Roman times, the region was known as Dumnomia. The Roman-Britons of Dumnomia long resisted the Anglo-Saxon onslaught, and not until the 9th century was the area incorporated into Wessex. Ecclesiastical authority is vested in the Archbishop of Canterbury , but there has been a local bishop in Exeter since the 11th century. There is some shipbuilding and related industry in the large ports, but the province is economically dependent on agriculture and fishing.
