          The metaphysical poet, Thomas Traherne (1637-74) was rector of St Mary’s Church, where he is buried.  The manuscripts of his poems were believed lost until discovered in a notebook from a bookstall and edited and published in 1903.

          RD Blackmore was teaching classics at Twickenham when he inherited some money in 1857, using it to build a house named after a favourite dog.

          He began a market garden and wrote novels in the winters, including Lorna Doone in 1869.  The site of the house is at Doone Close and Blackmore was buried in the town cemetery in 1900.
