Salcombe Regis is a coastal village in Devon, England, near Sidmouth. Mentioned in the Domesday Book as "a manor called Selcoma" held by Osbern FitzOsbern, bishop of Exeter, the manor house stood on the site now occupied by Thorn Farm. The thorn tree growing in an enclosure at the road junction above the farm marked the cultivation boundary between manor and common ground.^[1]

The church of St Peter was built c. 1107 and restored in 1845. It contains monuments to Sir Ambrose Fleming and Sir Norman Lockyer.^[2]
