The entire below was sent from Dulverton to London, going in the Tiverton Penny Post. A Fifth Clause Post from Tiverton had been converted to a Penny Post in 1816; this entire was sent in January 1817.

Dulverton
A few entires associated with Dulverton - firstly an entire from Hollam which is just outside Dulverton, with a clear "TIVERTON / Penny Post" and a boxed "No.2" handstamps. Oxley has Dulverton in the Tiverton Penny Post but does not assign a Receiving House number - from this entire it can be seen to be No. 2. I don't quite understand the postal charge which seems to have omitted the Penny Post charge.
This second entire is from Tiverton with a "TIVERTON / Penny Post" handstamp dated August 1817, which is earlier than Oxley has the conversion from a Fifth Clause Post.
Two entires here from 1832 and 1835, with "DULVERTON" double-arc handstamps and no further markings.
And finally an entire from May 1843 with an 1841 1d red-brown cancelled by a Maltese Cross. While Dulverton was in the 1844 list of Offices that received Barred Numeral cancels (No. 803), the markings on this entire are not clear enough to say if the Maltese Cross came from Dulverton.

Dulverton in the Tiverton Penny Post
A new acquisition is this entire with a manuscript address inside of Dulverton, with a fairly rare "TIVERTON / Penny Post" handstamp (in use 1816-1835), to Wiveliscombe. The postage was 6d, being 5d for the 18 miles from Tiverton to Wiveliscombe plus 1d for the Penny Post. The date inside is 3rd July 1825.
Dulverton was in the Tiverton Fifth Clause Post from 1807 to 1818, when it was converted to a Penny Post. Boxed "No.1" and "No.2" handstamps are known but have not be assigned to specific Receiving Houses.
