White's Devon Directory (1850) lists Elizabeth Page.

The inn was the venue for a house sale according to the EFP on 20th October 1796.

The Blue Anchor stood in Exe Island according to Pring, listed in 1833 and also on an inventory of 1844 (same source). Interestingly, Edmund Foster is mentioned in connection with a 99 year lease in 1833. This very same name appears in connection with the Anchor Inn, meaning they were actually the same inn.
