Tidal Range

Nigel Melville, MA 1959, BD 1962

Subtitled "Ebb and flow in Appledore", a chatty account of the colourful history of a North Devon fishing and boat-building community - all human life from the Viking invaders, through the Tudor seamen celebrated by Charles Kingsley, 18th century smugglers and swindlers, and 19th century merchant adventurers, right up to the village's eccentric vicars of the late 20th century.
