The consensus in the Albert Inn is that the gent with a folded coat under his arm is Owen MacLening, with his nephew Bill behind him. The youngster with the bicycle could well be Andy MacLening, also nephews to Owen. Andy is currently (Jan 2009) barman in the Albert Inn.

There are hot chestnut and mulled wine vendors, arts and crafts for sale and entertainments provided by... [more]

Morris Dancing and Clog Dancing at The Steam Packet Inn
This is the view from the Steam Packet Inn where there is a splendid large patio area which we used for morris dancing recently. We chose an early Summer's evening in June but were disappointed with the unexpected rain! However there were plenty of seats under the pub's umbrellas for the large crowd to take shelter!
Three "sides"... [more]

Down the Dart Photographic Memories
Dartington's original church stood in the grounds of Dartington Hall; this one was relatively new when the photograph was taken, having been consecrated to St Mary the Virgin in 1880 by Bishop Temple, who later became Archbishop of Canterbury.

The 42ft rood screen survived being defaced by Parliamentarian troops in 1640; a rather ungrateful gesture on their part, as Totnes was largely on their side during the Civil War. The 17th-century altar and rails seen here have been replaced and are now in the north aisle.

Devon A Century Ago Photographic Memoiries

Lady Margaret's ghost apparently still haunts the ruins, the harbinger of death for anyone who sees her, or for their relatives.
