Hugh Robert Watkin (1868 - 1937)
Hugh Robert Watkin was a businessman, antiquarian and historian. He had a successful business career in Russia, where he was the first Guild Merchant, and was permitted as such to trade in anything on the authority of the Russian Government and under the aegis of the British Consul at St. Petersburg. On retirement he lived for many years at Chelston Hall, Torquay, and soon became known as one of the most able antiquarians and historians of the West of England. In 1935 he was honoured with the Great Gold Medal of the Institut Historique et Heraldique de France, in recognition of his work in history, archaeology, and science, and with special reference to his History of Totnes.
