The Sidmouth Herald and Directory dated Wednesday, January 20, 1915
The Sidmouth Troop of Baden-Powell Scouts came into a home of their own on Thursday last, and we heartily congratulate them on now possessing so admirably adapted and convenient headquarters, and on the distinguished company present at the opening ceremony.
These visitors included Lord and Lady Halsbury, Sir Henry and Lady Seymour King, General Sir Richard Harrison (Chief Commissioner of the Scouts in Devon),
Sunglow (formerly Wychwood Cottage), Seafield Road, Sidmouth
Sunglow was the first of a number of houses built in Sidmouth by the architect Robert William Sampson (1866-1950) for his own occupation. The house was built in 1899 and was initially named Wychwood Cottage. The name originates from the village of Milton under Wychwood, the village where Sampson’s wife, Helen, was brought up.
