In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Duloe like this:

Real property, £4, 561. Pop, 1, 096. Houses, 207. The property is divided among a few. Treworgy House was the seat of the Kendalls; and passed to the Inches. ...
There are, in the parish, a mutilated Druidical circle, about 30 feet in diameter, and a famous well, anciently dedicated to St. Cuby, and popularly called St. Kiby's well. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Exeter. Value, £529.* Patron, Baliol College, Oxford. The church is ancient, with embattled tower; contains numerous old tombs and brasses; and was restored, in 1861, at a cost of about £2, 300. The vicarage of Herodsfoot is a separate benefice. Charities, £13. Dean Miller was a native; and Dr. Scott, the Greek lexicographer, was rector.
