Teignmouth and Shaldon Museum have some very interesting, detailed information in the form of Monographs. These booklets are on sale in our entrance shop or can be ordered by post, although we do need to receive your remittance before we can send - nothing against you, but we have had some problems in the past. We only charge £2.50 per Monograph to send by post within the United Kingdom (the price in our shop being just £2.00). If you would like to order please make cheques payable to Teign Heritage
