Honiton's origins can be traced back to prehistoric eras, marked by ancient burials and hill forts that are scattered throughout its countryside. Famously known as a market town, the 13th and 14th century saw the beginnings of a blossoming trade.
Honiton's success didn't end there, the town grew in the textile industry and became well-known for the production of its fine 'Honiton lace'. In the 19th century Honiton's lace production reached its peak as Queen Victoria selected a Honiton lace wedding veil.
