Title:Mints at Lundy Island and Combe Martin
Originator:Symonds, H.
Date:1922 - 1923
Summary:At Appledore the possible site of a 17th century mint. The author suggests that silver coins may have been minted at Appledore in 1645-1646 when Thomas Bushell, one of Charles I's Wardens of the Mint, commanded the garrison of Lundy Island. He thinks it is unlikely that the silver came from a local source.
