Full description
Fisher, J., 1999, East Devon Conservation Area Appraisals: Whimple, 3-4 (Report - non-specific). SDV347093.
The Whimple Conservation Area mainly comprises the nucleus set around The Square and Church Road to the south. The Square and the several short rows of cottages in streets adjoining constitute one of the most pleasing environments to be found in any East Devon village, with buiildings on a harmonious scale with many retaining at least some original features. Other details: Maps, photographs.
