Morcombelake, Old Cottages 1904

More about this scene
This discreet little settlement in the parish of Stanton St Gabriel occupies a web of small lanes on the south-facing slopes of Hardown Hill and derives its name from three Old English words: 'mor' (barren, swampy ground), 'cumb' (valley), and 'lacu' (stream). But travelling towards Charmouth in 1716, the poet John Gay penned the lines "through Bridport`s stony lanes our route we take, And the proud steep descend to Morcomb`s Lake", thus exposing subsequent generations of inhabitants to questions from puzzled visitors as to the location of this fabled mere.
