Paignton (aka Paington), a parish in the hundred of Haytor, 5-3/4 miles east of Totness... The living is a vicarage, to which the perpetual curacy of Marldon is annexed, in the peculiar jurisdiction of the Bishop of Exeter, rated in the king's books... and in the patronage of the Rev. John TEMPLAR... Paington was anciently held in demesne by the Bishops of Exeter, who had here a palace, of which some fragments still remain...John KELLOND, in 1692, gave £100 for teaching, and Charles KELLOND, in 1690, £50 for apprenticing, poor children. In 1800, Allan BALFIELD bequeathed £1000 three per cents, for the education of twenty poor children...
1483-1485 "The distribution of ecclesiastical livings came under his (King Richard III) eye too: when he was informed of unfair dealing in the diocese of Exeter, he bluntly bade the Vicar-General, Master John COMBE, to Promote Master Rauf SCROPE to the vicarage of Paynton, "which the said Mr. John COMBE hath presented himself unto by crafty means." (Extracted by Coombe Researcher Patience Northern from "Richard the Third" by Paul Murray Kendall, P.346)

It is not yet known if John COMBE of Exeter was a resident of the area in which the vicarage of Paynton was located; however, it is thought probable that Paynton was aka Paington (as spelled in Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of England) and Paignton as above.
