Jack Rattenbury
Jack Rattenbury, nicknamed Rob Roy of the West (1778, Beer, Devon - 1844) was an English smuggler. In 1837 after thirty years at sea as a fisherman, pilot, seaman and smuggler he wrote about his life in a book called ''Memoirs of a Smuggler'' with the help of a local Unitarian clergyman.〔(Jack Rattenbury, Devon fisherman and smuggler )〕
==Life==
Jack Rattenbury was born in Beer in 1778. His mother, Anne Newton, came from Beer, and his father, John Rattenbury, came from Honiton. Going to sea from the age of nine, Jack Rattenbury first became involved in smuggling at the age of sixteen. In 1800 he married Anna Partridge from Lyme Regis.〔〔(Smuggling )〕 He died aged sixty-five, and was buried on 28 April 1844 in Seaton churchyard, at an unmarked spot close to the north transept.
The Beer Quarry Caves were of great use to smugglers as they could be used to store contraband, hidden from the excise officials. One cave that was used was the Adit between Branscombe and Beer Head.
