Scope and Content
Page, John Lloyd Warden. The rivers of Devon. London: Seeley and Co., Limited, 1893. p. 210. A lane breasts the opposite hill to the village of Walkhampton - or, as a few of the old folk still call it, Wackington - of which the stately church tower has so long been a landmark.Walkhampton is not an interesting village, though there can be no doubt that it is a healthy one. Picturesque thatch and penthouse eaves do not answer in these elevated hamlets on the borders of the wild moor; the cottages of 'Wackington' are slated, and the slates are tarred and sanded, giving the place an appearance somewhat funereal.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
