Etymology
This name involves the same word as is found in to mil gemete BCS 955, on ðæt milgemæt KCD 673, apparently a compound of mil , 'mile,' and (ge )met , 'measure, space, boundary, limit.' The place probably takes its name from an old milestone, as it is about a mile distant from Tavistock on the road to the north-west.
