Exeter Cathedral is but the crowning glory of Devon's wealth of medieval churches, replete with
sumptuous fittings and monuments. The county's peak of prosperity from the late Middle Ages
to the seventeenth-century is reflected too in its castles, its secluded manor houses, and its scores
of sturdily built farmhouses. The delights of Devon's well loved seaside and country towns are
explored from the distinctive merchants' houses of Totnes and Topsham to the elegant Regency
crescents of Teignmouth and Sidmouth. The picture is completed by accounts of the creation of
the docks at Plymouth, industrial relics, and the substantial but little known store of Devon's
Victorian churches.
