The Luscombes of Topsham
Topsham is situated on the
estuary of the River Exe just
south of Exeter.
The Luscombe family has
been associated with the
area since the late 18th
Century.
Originally from Beer or
Sidmouth, the first
Luscombe to move to the
area was John Luscombe
who was a fisherman
resident in Ebford.
The Luscombes were
predominantly mariners who
in later generations turned to
business & shopkeeping.
