Wooden Drascombes
John Watkinson
Drascombe Barton
John Watkinson had the sea in his blood, but the home they had chosen was about as far from the coast as you could get in Devon. It was a thatched Devon Longhouse: part of the building, which is mentioned in the Domesday Book (around 1066), even contains old ship's timbers. There were also several old outbuildings, including a disused old stone barn. Their new home was "Drascombe Barton".
