Cullompton Cloth Trade

Leo enjoyed using the interactive touchscreen to look at all the information on the history of the Cloth Trade in Cullompton. He did whizz around a bit fast so I'll have to have a more leisurely play another time to check out all the bits I missed.

There are some great photos of the Church, the Walronds and the town development over time.

It has been a very chilly day and a rather chaotic traffic day. Luckily we got around all day on foot but I felt so sorry for all the drivers trying to get through Cullompton today. They had to close one of the roads and cordon off a stretch of the High Street as one of the Listed Buildings has developed a scary looking crack, almost from top to bottom, and they are worried it will crumble onto the High Street. The whole place just got snarled up and nobody seemed able to move anywhere!
