Near Beer there used to be a place called Roncombe's Girt, now called Roncombe's Gate - but all we could find there was a signpost! On November 2, 1787 a fight took place there between smugglers and excise men, and two excise officers were killed.They were WILLIAM JENKINS and WILLIAM SCOTT. Our ancestor, GEORGE SALTER, of Kentisbeare, was one of the smugglers. Have always wanted to find out something about the men who were killed. Any information most gratefully received. Thank you.
