More about this scene
The conspicuous tower of St Margaret's has long been used as a landmark by mariners negotiating Bideford Bar at the entrance to the Torridge estuary. Until 1844 the tower was rendered and whitewashed to make it more visible, but Rev J H Gosset removed the rendering during his restoration, which presumably did little to endear him to the maritime portion of his flock.
