| Description: |
Dick Rawle's father drove the coach and four from Porlock to Lynmouth; his Uncle George was captain of the Lynmouth lifeboat at the time of the overland launch. When Uncle George died Dick helped carry his coffin two miles or more, from Nutscale to Stoke Pero church. He was in his prime, he says, strong as a horse, but it was hard work.
