Scope and Content
Croydon's handbook for Torquay. Torquay: E. Croydon; London: Hamilton and Adams, 1853. pp. 72-3.[…] and at an distance of about three miles altogether from Torquay, we reach the village of St. Mary Church. […] The village is a very thriving one, and is rapidly extending, but has no pretensions to beauty. At about the centre of the long street which composes it, a lane to the left leads us down to the marble quarries of Petit Tor. These are well worth inspection: they afford the finest known varieties of Devonshire limestone, beautiful specimens of which, fashioned into tables and ornaments of various kinds, may be always seen at the proprietor's (Mr. Woodley) extensive works, which are situated at the other end of the village.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
