On This Day in Wembury – 26 September 1935

An auction at the Law Chambers, Princess Square, Plymouth, offered several freehold properties in Wembury following the death of Mr. Mark Lamerton.

The lots included:

  • Channel View: a detached bungalow with five rooms, scullery, w.c., large garden, paddock, and electric light.

  • Wide View: another detached bungalow with five rooms, scullery, bath, w.c., large garden, and electric light.

  • A building site adjoining Lot 2.

  • Additional building land in Church Road, Wembury.

The sale highlighted the growing 1930s market for bungalows in Wembury, promoted as healthy homes with extensive views, and reflected the parish’s transition from a purely agricultural community to a coastal residential village.
