South Tawton is a village, parish and former manor on the north edge of Dartmoor, Devon, England. An electoral ward bearing the same name exists. At the 2011 census the population was 1,683.
North Wyke was long a possession of the Wykes family. Worthy suggested this family, Latinized to de Wigornia , was descended from a certain William de Wigornia, a younger sons of Robert de Beaumont, Count of Meulan and de jure Earl of Worcester, by his marriage with Maud FitzRoy, daughter of Reginald de Dunstanville, 1st Earl of Cornwall. The manor of South Tawton was anciently a possession of the Beaumont family. The effigy of John Wykes of North Wyke, known locally as "Old Warrior Wykes", survives in South Tawton Church, showing a recumbent figure dressed in full armour, under a low tester with three low Ionic columns. He married Mary Giffard, a daughter of Sir Roger Giffard of Brightley, Chittlehampton, Devon.
