Cullompton is a town and civil parish in Mid Devon, locally known as Cully. The earliest evidence of occupation is from the Roman period - Columtune was mentioned in Alfred the Great's will. In the past the town's economy had a large component of wool and cloth manufacture, then later leather working and paper manufacture. Many inhabitants are commuters but there is still some local manufacturing, including flour and paper mills. It has a monthly farmers' market which is the oldest event of its kind in the South West. And two grade I listed buildings: the fifteenth century St Andrew's parish church and the seventeenth century house known as The Walronds.
