Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of the Charters, Minute Books: And Other Documents of the Borough of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, A. D. 1252 to 1800
Such is the Slight, faint outline of the story of old Weymouth. With modern Weymouth our task has not to do. Changing fashion - greater charms of inland scenery elsewhere - her distance from London - these and the like of these antagonisms she has to contend against. Yet she enlarges her borders still - her Bay and her neighbouring coast matchless still.
