View on the [River] Dart. Original watercolour most probably by a member of the Waddon-Martyn family of Tonacombe Manor in the mid 19th century. Mounted on contemporary card backing sheet. c10 x 7 inches (image size) Tonacombe is a late medieval manor house, built in the early 16th century with 18th century renovations. The main building dates from the marriage of Tomasin Jourden of Tonacombe to John Kempthorne (Ley). The house passed through the female line to the Waddon family in the mid 17th century and to the Martyns in the late 18th century. Tonacombe is the original of "Chapel" in Westward Ho ! which was partly written there, and Charles Kingsley was a frequent visitor. He was born at Holne Vicarage, under the brow of Dartmoor, Devonshire.
