Victorian Ilfracombe

Home Page

Written by Rev. Jim Bates

A series of articles about the Victorian architecture of Ilfracombe that is published regularly in The Focus magazine.

At present, only a small selection of articles has been put online. I hope to have the accompaning line drawings (and the remaining articles) online in the near future.
