Scope and Content
Page, John Lloyd Warden. The coasts of Devon and Lundy Island. London: Horace Cox, 1895. pp. 28-9.Lynmouth consists of a single street, facing the river. Every other house is a hotel or lodging-house, but the general appearance of the place is not unpicturesque, and some regard has evidently been had for the romantic surroundings. At the bottom is the rough little harbour overlooked by a square tower, the tints of which have mellowed so rapidly under the hand of time, that it might be three hundred years old at least. As a matter of fact, it dates but from the latter end of the last century. It was the gift of a General Rawdon, a resident to whom this village on the Lyn owes no small debt. It is a copy of a tower on the Rhine.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
