Residence in Clovelly
Henry G. Cary writes: "I visited Clovelly in the summer of 1892, and became greatly interested in the place, both on account of its history and its picturesqueness. "It is situated in the north of Devonshire, on the Bristol Channel. The coast is quite abrupt and rises from two hundred to five hundred feet above the water. In a little opening, or cleft, in the lofty cliffs is tucked a little collection of stone cottages, there being only one street worthy of the name. This street is twelve or fifteen feet wide and ascends too steeply to allow carriages to be used. Their place is taken by funny little donkeys, who will carry loads larger than themselves. There is no sidewalk and pedestrians must share the cobblestone pavement with the donkeys. The houses are built of stones brought up from the beach hundred of years ago by the ancestors of these sailors and fishermen who live here now. "About halfway up the hill is the Public Square; this is some twenty by thirty feet in extent, having an iron railing in front to prevent one from falling into the chimney of the house below, a wooden bench to sit upon, a flag-staff and a barometer.
"At the foot of the street is a little stone pier and breakwater, built by my ancestors more than three hundred years ago. Here are sheltered the fishing boats, and here passengers who come by the steamer are landed from small boats. At the top of the street lies the open country, where are the broad acres of the lord of the manor. The mansion house is called Clovelly Court. Near this is the little stone church of All Saints, where some of the Carys used to preach, and where many of them lie buried. The church was built over six hundred years ago, and the oaken roof-timbers all show and are black with age." Robert, the valiant knight who vanquished the Knight of Arragon, received the estate for his skill in arms. Philip, the son of Robert, inherited it next. William, he that was slain at the battle of Tewksbury in 1471, was the next owner. John Cary, the famous judge, who died in banishment in Ireland, bought the estate but did not live here. The property was confiscated but Henry V restored it to John's son Robert.
