Extracts from a Devonshire Lady’s Notes of Travel in France in the Eighteenth Century
Trans. Devon. Assoc. vol. XXXIV, (1902), pp. 265-275.
by
The Rev. Oswald J. Reichel, D.C.L., M.A., F.S.A.
Prepared by Michael Steer
The Report was read at the Association’s July 1902 Bideford meeting. The writer of the MS. from which the Rev Reichel took the extracts was Jane Parminter, eldest daughter of John Parminter, of Lisbon and Exmouth, and his wife Jane, née Arbouin or Arboyn, and granddaughter of Richard Parminter the elder, of Broadgate, near Barnstaple. She was born 5th February, 1750, at Lisbon, and died 1810 at A la Ronde, near Exmouth – now the town’s famous tourist attraction, which she had erected some twelve years previously to reproduce in miniature the Church of San Vitale at Ravenna. The MS. is a small, closely written octavo in her own handwriting, but otherwise without name or date. The Report, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired, are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
