Could it be "Beacon Hill"? One of the 1841 entries reads "Library, Beacon" and the entry before that looks like "Beacon Hill"? The page is headed "Parish of Littleham"

An item in an 1837 Exmouth newspaper is headed "EXMOUTH - Public Rooms and Library on the Beacon Hill"

This parish map would appear to cover Beacon Hill?

Just found some info online. Beacon hill house was first built as part of a crescent started in 1820. It is now a grade 2 listed building. I’m wondering if Ann Hepper born close by then worked there in 1841. Just need a birth or marriage of father William to ?
