Local area guide
Skip hire in Tiverton
Tiverton is a market town in Devon, sitting where the River Lowman joins the Exe around 14 miles north of Exeter, with a population of around 22,000. The name comes from twy-ford-ton, the town of two fords, and it grew as a Saxon settlement and then a Norman stronghold — Tiverton Castle, built in 1106 and later the seat of the Earls of Devon, survives in part as a private house open to visitors, with a fine gatehouse and Civil War armour collection.
The town prospered on wool. By the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Tiverton was one of the leading cloth towns in England, and the wealthy merchants endowed its finest buildings. John Greenway, a cloth merchant, added the lavishly carved Greenway Chapel to St Peter's Church in 1517, its exterior covered with ships, merchant marks and cloth-trade imagery. Peter Blundell, another clothier, founded Blundell's School in 1604, one of the best-known independent schools in the south-west, and the old school building features in R.D. Blackmore's Lorna Doone, whose hero attended it.
When the wool trade declined, Tiverton's industrial fortune was restored in 1816 by John Heathcoat. Heathcoat had invented a bobbin-net lace machine, and when Luddites smashed his factory in Loughborough he moved his operation to Tiverton, bringing hundreds of workers with him on foot. His mill became one of the largest lace factories in the world, and the business continues in the town today as Heathcoat Fabrics, producing technical textiles — including parachute fabric and materials for aerospace and military use.
The Grand Western Canal, built in the 1810s, runs from Tiverton for eleven miles through the countryside and is now a country park, where horse-drawn barges still carry passengers from the basin in the town — one of the last places in England offering horse-drawn narrowboat trips. Knightshayes Court, a spectacular Gothic Revival house built by William Burges for the Heathcoat-Amory family, stands just north in the care of the National Trust.
Tiverton sits on the A361 North Devon Link Road with junction 27 of the M5 close by, and Tiverton Parkway station on the main line gives services to London Paddington in around two hours and to Exeter and Bristol. Housing ranges from Georgian and older property around Fore Street and St Peter Street to Victorian terraces built for the Heathcoat workforce, interwar and post-war estates, and substantial modern development including the large Tiverton Eastern Urban Extension.
