A fire broke out in a bedroom at the back of the Red Lion Inn Clovelly, which forms part of the hotel. A fire lit to air bedding was lit by Mrs Vine, but several Clovelly fishermen were soon on the scene.
Lydia's daughter was also Lydia and she was married to Charles Hugh Burnard (my great grandfather) and their son Jack (my Grandfather) was born in the Red Lion in February 1899. *
