Scope and Content
Carrington, N.T., and others. The Teignmouth, Dawlish, and Torquay guide; with an account of the surrounding neighbourhood, its scenery, antiquities, &c.Teignmouth: E. Croydon, c.1829. pp. 138-140.Within this is a large quadrangle, at the north and east whereof the honourable family of Seymour (whose possession now it is,) built a magnificent structure, at the charges, as fame relates, of upwards of twenty thousand pounds, but never brought it to perfection, […] 'tis now demolished, and all this glory lieth in the dust, buried in its own ruins, there being nothing standing but a few broken walls, which seem to mourn their own approaching funerals."But what we may think strangest of all is, that one and the same age saw the rise and fall of this noble structure." ** Prince's Worthies.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
