Document Held: Dartmouth Museum
Preface To the Publication 1946
Owing to the war, the mass of information contained in the late H. R. Watkin's Pre-Reformation History has not yet been digested, nor has any general history of the town after the Reformation been attempted. The writer is engaged on these tasks. The
following notes were drafted for the use of the members of the Torbay Branch of the Devonshire Association. It is hoped that the notes and the sketch map may be of service to visitors interested in the history of the famous and beautiful port. view document
