Polwhele, Revd. Richard. The history of Devonshire. London: Cadell, Dilly & Murray, 1793-1806. Vol. II. p. 489.Finely situated in the bottom of Torbay stands that beautiful edifice called Torr-Abbey, already noticed among religious houses. [
]The church is in ruins; but the greatest part of the abbey has been converted into the present mansion. Some of the most ancient parts of the first endowment remain in their original state, and still serve for offices. The old barn measuring 123½ feet in length, and 33½ feet in breadth, and a gate-way are in perfect repair.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
