Yelverton, Devon
It gave its name to the Rock Hotel, built as a farm during the Elizabethan period, but converted in the 1850s to cater for growing tourism in the area.The area to the south and west of the roundabout at the centre of the village was settled in late Victorian and Edwardian times, with many grand and opulent villas.An area developed at about the same time on an odd shaped piece of land to the south of the Tavistock road is known as Leg o' Mutton Corner.One tall building which was not altered was St. Paul's Church, but the tower was hit by a plane, resulting in a warning light being fitted.Lomax Tours run coach excursions throughout the year from Yelverton to places of interest such as Bath Christmas Market, Lyme Regis, RHS Rosemoor flower shows etc.
