On This Day in Wembury – 8 September 1988
Job advertisements in the Western Evening Herald highlighted vacancies at Langdon Court, Wembury, then operating as a country house hotel. Positions advertised included a sous chef for a “high-class catering position” and an assistant manager/manageress role requiring broad hotel experience, initiative, and transport.
Though routine in appearance, such adverts capture Langdon Court’s life in the late 1980s, showing its continuing role as an upmarket hospitality venue and major local employer, decades after its transformation from historic manor into hotel.
