This is the story of Salcombe, through the eyes of the Murch family. Born and bred in the town for generations, and destined to change its face forever: James, who was to become the town‘s largest employer, constructing most of the buildings, around the estuary, and Frank, Lieutenant Commander Francis Murch, who assumed responsibility for the safety of Salcombe in the dark days of the American buildup to D-Day in 1944.
Virginia Murch is a writer and journalist who was born in Salcombe. Her family can trace their origins in the town back to 1057.
