Scope and Content
Butcher Rev. Edmund. The beauties of Sidmouth displayed. Sidmouth: John Wallis, 1820. Third Edition. pp. 68, 72.SALCOMBE,or the Salt Vale, now called Salcombe Regis, is a small parish, east of Sidmouth, between two and three miles broad from west to east, that is, from Sidmouth town to a place in Branscombe called Weston Mouth. [
] The village itself consists of about eight houses, including Coombe, a farm, about two-thirds of the way between the church and the sea, and under delightful hanging woods, the residence of Mr. William Follett. Few places are more susceptible of improvement than this charming spot. Nature has done so much, that art has only to bestow a few embellishing touches: there is much to adorn, but nothing to create.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
