"At some point, possibly early in the development of the settlement, the Town Mill Leat was formed to take water from the Dean Burn some way to the south west. This brought water into the heart of Lower Town and remains a distinctive feature today." http://www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk/pages_9-19_from_buckfastleigh-2.pdf
