Name Richard NARRAMORE Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Est 1585 Gender Male Feoffee 1626 Humphrey Borrington's Charity - In 1626 when new feoffees were appointed to administer Borrington's Charity Richard 'Norramore' was amongst them, as was Walter 'Norramore' and his son Bartholomew.
"Borrington's Gift.
Humphrey ßorrington, by deed, bearing date 15th April, 1589, granted to Richard Borrington and five others, and their heirs, a yearly rent of 20s. to be issuing out of his lands called Hayes, in the parish of Ideford, on trust, to distribute the said rent, or the greatest part thereof, amongst the poorest people of the said parish of Ideford, with a proviso for appointing new trustees, when the number should be reduced to two.
This statement is taken from a deed for appointing new trustees, dated 30th April, 1626.
Lord Clifford is the proprietor of the lands called Hayes, whose tenant pays the annuity. It is distributed by one of the feoffees about Easter, among the poor of the parish, generally in sums of 1s. each."
- from The report of the Commissioners concerning Charities; containing that part which relates to Devon, vol. III, Exeter, 1830. (readable on Google books)
Appriser 1633 Inventory of the goods of John Babb - A Richard Narramore, I suspect this one, was the appriser of John Babb of Bishopsteignton
Will 28 Aug 1654 [1] Written - This was a nuncupative will, yet appears to have been written down 3 months before Richard died. Perhaps between it being recorded and written up for him to sign he had a stroke or became in some other way incapacitated and so was unable to confirm it himself.
Alternatively, since all that survives is (as it usually is) the register copy of his will that may have the wrong month, or the Parish Register may have been written up later and the wrong burial date recorded.
The will of Richard Narramore (d. 1654)
(an 11 x great grandfather of mine)Buried 20 Nov 1654 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Ideford, Devon, England 
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 17 Jun 2015)
"Richard Narramore was buried the 20 of November 1654" - under heading 'Burialls in Anno Dominiæ 1654'
Probate 20 Jan 1654/55 London, Middlesex, England Occupation Ideford, Devon, England Yeoman - (from his will)
Richard mentions heifers, ewes and a nursery of young trees.
Died - Richard Narramore left a nuncupative will; usually such wills are written as someone is dying but I have it that it was written on 28 August 1654 and he was not buried until 20 Nov 1654. This suggests that his health had deteriorated so he could not sign his own will but that he went on living for nearly 3 more months - or that a date is wrong.
The copy of the will I have - images of the Register copy - has August very clearly as does the Parish Register November, so if a date is in error it must have been mis-transcribed centuries ago. The register looks like the events were entered at the time (the ink is not uniform in colour) so that is probably correct.

Father NARRAMORE, d. Yes, date unknown Married - Richard, who married in Ideford 1615, mentions a brother John in his will (still living when it was written). I am guessing that was the John married in Ideford in 1599.
An Andrew was buried in Ideford in 1621 - was that this Narramore, the unknown father of Richard and John? (I only know of one son of Richard, who he named John, but that John did name a son Andrew). Alternatively, Andrew could be a son of Richard for whom I have not found a baptism.
