Tristram Risdon (c. 1580 - 1640) was an antiquary and topographer and the author of the Survey of Devonshire. He was born at Winscot, in the parish of St. Giles, adjoining the town of Great Torrington in Devon. After a local education, he studied at Broadgates Hall in Oxford, though he left the University without taking any degree, supposedly because of the death of his sister upon which he inherited the family estate at Winscot, which required his personal attention.

He was born at Winscot, in the parish of St. Giles, adjoining the town of Great Torrington in Devon. After a local education, he studied at Broadgates Hall in Oxford, though he left the University without taking any degree, supposedly because of the death of his sister upon which he inherited the family estate at Winscot, which required his personal attention. He devoted the rest of his life to the study of antiquities, especially those of his native county; and the fruit of his labours was the Survey.
