Registers of Clyst St. George, Devon, 1565-1812 (The Parish Register Society, 1899). John Lomax Gibbs, ed.,  by FamilySearch Books - free.
John Gibbs remarks in the foreword that "there is a great disproportion of the Marriages to Births and Burials which is occasioned by this Church having been much frequented for weddings the last 40 years by people from Exeter, Topsham, Woodbury, &c. It was also made use of by many Woodbury people for Baptisms during the Civial War."

Tithe Maps and Apportionments
The tithe maps and apportionments are an important source of information about the history and topography of a parish. They provide details of land ownership and occupation, and the type of cultivation of the land, and were produced in order to assess the tithe payable in cash to the parish church for the support of the church and its clergy. For more details click here
The hard copy maps are held at the Devon Heritage Centre, Devon Archives and Local Studies Service.
The tithe apportionments are in the form of downloadable PDF files, which can be viewed online or downloaded here .
