Ancient Dartmouth by Percy Russell
Document Held: Dartmouth MuseumPreface 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

Dartmouth Buildings Paper 4 PDF
Dartmouth Paper 4William Holborow's paper on building development in Dartmouth was written as a third-year dissertation for a degree in architecture at the University of
Liverpool. It is a most welcome restatement and discussion of facts that are in part familiar to us from Percy Russell's work and yet which includes much
information on population in the first half of the l7th century that has not been aired publicly before. It is the sort of work, quite within the capacities of many Dartmouth residents, that one would like to see undertaken more frequently. I am therefore grateful to Mr. Holborow for the opportunity to include it in Dartmouth Papers. All editorial variations have been approved by the author and I have added three maps in redrawn versions which, I hope, make them more readily comprehensible than in their previously published versions in Russell's and Watkin's books.
