More about this scene
Nestling in a combe between two rocky hills, the tower of the parish church of St Michael is clearly visible in this view of the town, taken from the Cobb, on which the Duke of Monmouth landed on 11 June 1685. It was also the fictitious site where Jane Austen`s character Louisa Musgrove leapt to disaster in 'Persuasion'. Lyme was a favourite resort of the novelist and her family who stayed here during its hey-day as a popular Regency watering place for fashionable Bath society.
