A short history of Lyme Regis

My wife kindly bought me this book for the princely sum of 25p. Some interesting bits about the rebellion and aftermath with perhaps the most shocking fact that WIlliam Stukely claimed the remains of the quartering were still visible in 1723. There is also a poem supposedly written by Monmouth after landing and known in Old Lyme.

Lyme, although a little
place, I think it wondrous pretty; If 'tis my fate to wear a crown, I'll make of it a city.
