General:
Situated in southeast Devon, Branscombe is a picturesque village stretching along a valley leading down to a beach at Branscombe Mouth. Thomas W. Sears visited it during his 1908 trip to England and photographed a variety of locations, including many of the village's thatch-roofed cottages and other buildings. Sears also depicted the landscape of the area, from beach scenes to grazing cattle and sheep. Many sites in Branscombe photographed by Sears have been placed on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historical Interest, whose www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk website has aided in their identification. A few of the images may be of other locations in England (see individual bibliographic records), but are included because they were originally found in Sears' files amongst the Branscombe photographs.

Shere was one of Thomas W. Sears favorite English villages and its church is the subject of several photographs. Parts of the Church of St. James date to the 12th century, with several subsequent additions, including a lych gate designed in 1901 by Sir Edwin Lutyens. This was one of the churches featured in Parish Churches of England, although the image of the church included there is not found in this series. Sears visited Shere in 1906 as well as in 1908.

Thomas W. Sears took these photographs of the area around Fittleworth and Pulborough in what is now West Sussex during his 1908 trip to England. "Fittleworth" was the identifier that Sears chose to use on the label for his box of glass plates. Subjects on which he focused included bridges in the valleys of the River Arun and the River Rother, historic buildings such as Fittleworth Mill, and other scenes of village and rural life. Several sites in the area photographed by Sears have been placed on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historical Interest, whose www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk website has aided in their identification.
