Canal entrance look on the disused Stover Canal. Dated 1824 for George Templer of Stover Park House (q.v.) This lock and the 2 other stone locks q.v. in Teigngrace Parish were replacements for the original timber clad clay locks of the canal which was built by James Templer in 1790 to 1792; the engineer was Thomas Gray of Exeter. The entry lock at the south end of the lock basin is granite ashlar with splayed entrance, the west side has a stone inscribed:- GEO. TEMPLER ESQR. 1824. Revetment walls recessed either side for lock gates which are later replacements. The large lock basin has wooden boarded earth sides, the east side later rebuilt in brick with 4 cast iron bollards. The inner lock at north end of basin is also granite ashlar but has been partly filled in with C20 bridge and circa 1866 railway track of the South Devon Railway Companies' Newton Abbot to Moretonhampstead line. The Stover Canal was nearly 2 miles long and joined the River Teign here at Jetty Marsh near Newton Abbot, where the barges passed through the dredged Whitelake Channel to the estuary of the River Teign. The canal was a private venture and built to transport ball clay to the Staffordshire Potteries and later to transport Haytor granite after the Haytor granite tramway had been built in 1820.
