Lawrence, finally of Clyst Hyden; and although dozing I half laughed to remember how I went searching for that same village last May and how I wouldn't ask my way of anyone, just because it was Clyst Hyden, because the name of that little hidden rustic village had been written in the hearts of some who had passed away long ago, far far from home: how then could I fail to find it? it would draw my feet like a magnet!
Although demoralized, the rebels assembled at Clyst St. Mary, which they fortified. From here they sent word to the king demanding the continuance of their former Church services, but the king's reply was an army under the command of Lord Russell, and after a brief resistance Clyst St.
A thought of the rivers in the red and green country floated through my brain of the Clyst among others; then of the villages on the Clyst; of Broadclyst, Clyst St. Mary, Clyst St.
Mary was burned to the ground and the rebels scattered, to be again beaten and their leaders taken on Clyst Heath. The vicar of St. Thomas's Church, Exeter at that time situated outside the walls one of the leaders, was hanged from his own church tower.

From the Clyst many villages take name, as Clyst St. Lawrence, Broad Clyst, Honiton Clyst, Clyst St. Mary, and Clyst St. George.
No sooner had I asked myself the question than I was on my bicycle among those same deep lanes, with the unkept hedges and the great hedgerow elms shutting out a view of the country, searching once more for the village of Clyst Hyden. And as on the former occasion, years ago it seemed, I would not enquire my way of anyone.
Harrison Smith wasted no time in explaining the case while Bolt listened with great concentration, nodding approval at this point or that. "Hm! Worth trying anyway," he agreed. "What do you want me to do?" "Take over my place at Clyst St. Mary. Can't explain why but I've a sort of notion things may happen there.
She sacrificed her "ends" in 1914 to give a lead to hesitating girls of the neighbourhood. This she conceived to be a duty and one that would materially expedite the close of hostilities.
