Butcher, Revd. E. The beauties of Sidmouth displayed, being a descriptive sketch of its situation, salubrity and picturesque scenery.[
] Sidmouth: J. Wallis, 1820. p. 42.On the right hand, approaching Miss Wrighte's, with a beautiful lawn and shrubbery before it, and an excellent walled garden, rises the well designed and highly finished house of the Reverend James Hobson: the view from the lawn, both of sea and land, is rich and extensive. The lodge belonging to this mansion, which stands opposite the entrance into the grounds in Mill Lane, is an object of universal admiration. The festoons from its roof, gives it a simple elegance which no other ornament could have bestowed ivy which creeps up its slender pillars, and hangs in festoons from the roof, gives it a simple elegance which no other ornament could have bestowed.
