Honiton
Honiton is a market town and civil parish in East Devon. It is set near to the River Otter, and is approximately 17 miles (27 kilometres) north east of Exeter in the county of Devon. Honiton is at the junction of the A35, the A30 and the A373 roads. Honiton railway station is on the West of England Main Line that runs from London Waterloo to Exeter. Honiton has a population estimated at 11822. The town grew along the line of the Fosse Way, the ancient Roman roadway connecting Exeter to Lincoln, on which it was a key stopping point. The site is discussed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Honetone, meaning 'Huna's tun' or 'farm'. It eventually became a crucial market town, known for its lace making that was introduced by Flemish immigrants in the Elizabethan era. In the 17th century, great numbers of people produced lace by hand in their homes, and later in the 19th century, Queen Victoria had her bridal gown crafted from Honiton lace, though the dress itself was made in the fishing village of Beer. The town also came to be known for its pottery. Honiton is host to the annual Honiton Agricultural Show, a traditional celebration dating back to 1890. The Hot Pennies ceremony happens each year on the first Tuesday after 19 July in the High Street of the town, and go back to the reign of King Stephen. The event has its roots in the practice of the landed gentry taking delight in tossing hot pennies from windows to regional peasants, a seemingly kind gesture leading to burns. The custom also had the intention of encouraging people to go to the town from the surrounding region to go to a subsequent fair. For all of your home refurbishments, make sure to identify trusted contractors in Honiton to make certain of quality.
