Barnstaple is a town in Devon, England, situated at the lowest crossing point of the River Taw before it reaches the Bristol Channel. Historically, from the 14th century, the town was licensed to export wool, which brought considerable wealth. Later it became an importer of Irish wool, and its harbour eventually silted up, leading to the development of other industries such as shipbuilding, foundries and sawmills. A notable landmark is the Victorian market building, which still stands with a high glass and timber roof supported on iron columns. The town’s setting on the river and its proximity to the coast give it a distinctive character, while its historic market and industrial past reflect a long tradition of trade and craftsmanship. The locality of Roundswell falls within this town, offering residents a connection to Barnstaple’s heritage and riverine environment.
