Scope and Content
Scenery on the southern coast of Devonshire; comprising picturesque views, at or near the fashionable watering places, Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, Dawlish, Teignmouth, and Torquay. Sidmouth: J.Wallis. 1819.THE BISHOP'S PARLOUR, DAWLISH.THE cliffs on each side of Dawlish, like most upon this part of the coast, are of a loose, gravelly texture, and of a brownish red colour: they contain a number of little coves, in which thoughtless pedestrians sometimes undergo a temporary imprisonment, by not attending to the return of the tide. An incident of this kind occurring to Bishop WILSON, gave the name of Bishop's Parlour to a cove which lies beyond the perforated rock delineated in this print, and near the houses on Dawlish Beach.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
