Honiton
Honiton is a market town and civil parish in East Devon. It is positioned close to the River Otter, and is roughly 17 miles (27 km) 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 approximated at 11822. The town grew along the line of the Fosse Way, the ancient Roman road linking Exeter to Lincoln, on which it was a significant stopping point. The location is detailed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Honetone, meaning 'Huna's tun' or 'farmstead'. It grew into an important market town, known for its lace making that was introduced by Flemish immigrants in the Elizabethan era. In the 17th century, thousands of people produced lace by hand in their homes, and later in the 19th century, Queen Victoria had her wedding dress made from Honiton lace, though the gown itself was made in the fishing village of Beer. The town also became known for its pottery. Honiton is host to the annual Honiton Agricultural Show, a traditional occasion dating back to 1890. The Hot Pennies ceremony occurs annually on the first Tuesday after 19 July in the High Street of the town, and go back to the reign of King Stephen. The tradition has its roots in the practice of the landed gentry taking pleasure in throwing hot pennies from windows to regional peasants, a relatively kind gesture leading to burns. The custom additionally had the function of motivating people to take a trip to the town from the surrounding area to participate in a subsequent fair.
