Fuge, situated within the Dartmouth postal district of TQ 6 in Devon, is a locality that carries a historical connection to prominent 19th‑century figures. The best record references Charles Seale‑Hayne, who lived at Fuge House in the parish of Blackawton and was associated with Kingswear Castle in Dartmouth harbour. The summary also notes Sir John Henry Seale, 1st Baronet, of Mount Boone in the parish of Townstal near Dartmouth, who served as a Whig Member of Parliament for Dartmouth in 1838 and was created a baronet that same year. His landholdings were mainly at Townstal and Mount Boone, and together with the Earl of Morley of Saltram House near Plymouth, he built several bridges in Dartmouth, notably the Dart crossing. The historical record indicates that Arthur Howe Holdsworth, a previous Member of Parliament in Dartmouth, lost influence over the pocket borough of Dartmouth after the 1832 Reform Act, leading to a competition for the seat that was won by John Seale. These details highlight the locality’s link to Devon’s political and architectural heritage in the 19th century.
