Culmstock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Culmstock is a picturesque parish village in east Devon, about 5 miles from Tiverton and 7 or so miles NE of Cullompton. It is laid out on both sides of the River Culm; the village is joined by a single old narrow stone bridge across the river.
Historically it fell within the boundaries of the Hemyock Hundred. It was at one time prosperous as a centre of weaving and the wool trade but this prosperity, and the population of the village, declined considerably with the onset of the Industrial Revolution.
