Joseph Clark was a painter of domestic genre and rustic subjects, he exhibited at the RA, SS, GG and elsewhere. At the RA he exhibited a portrait of Henry Scott Tuke and Military subjects set in Afghanistan. Torcross is a small village at the southern end of Slapton Sands, a narrow strip of coastal road and shingle beach separating Slapton Ley from Start Bay. It is now well known as the beach where many lives were lost during rehearsals for the D-Day landings in 1944 and there is a memorial tank, which was recovered from the sea. Slapton Ley is freshwater lake forming part of a nature reserve and is popular with bird watchers. Storms frequently cause damage and nearby Hallsands was destroyed by a storm in 1917, with just a few ruined cottages remaining.
