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.
