May Cottage
The building is thought to date from the seventeenth century. In 1884, the owner decided to give it over for use as a hospital, and public support was generated. Local benefactor, Annie Leigh Browne (1851 – 1936), donated funds for five years' rent. At first there were four beds and an operating table. In its first year of use, twenty-one patients were admitted and the level of care regarded as very high. In 1891 the Victoria Hospital opened opposite and the cottage then became a school. Grade II listed.

Blackmore House, Sidmouth
The original Blackmore House is gone, but this strangely-shaped building bears the name on the north side, as well as the date of 1904 on a rainwater head. It seems to be a part of the health centre.
