In this book, Lewis takes readers on a series of adventures.

This is a book about Honiton that was a substantial watering place for stagecoaches and their horses, particularly on their way from Cornwall up to London, which took approximately 3 days to com-plete. This then intrigued me to discover which buildings were used as coaching inns for the weary travelers. Contained in this book are approximately ninety inns that I have researched so far. By no means is this a complete list and I shall add more information as and when I find it in subsequent issues when required.
