South Molton is a small town in Devon, England. It is part of the North Devon local government district. The town is on the River Mole. The town was one of the boroughs reformed by the Municipal Reform Act 1835. It retained this status as a municipal borough until 1967, when it became a rural borough in the South Molton Rural District.
On 14 March 1655, Sir John Penruddock was captured after a three-hour street fight in South Molton by soldiers of the New Model Army under the command of Captain Unton Crook. With his capture, the Penruddock uprising came to an end and so did the 1655 plans of the Sealed Knot to restore King Charles II to the throne of England.
South Molton is a well-built market town trading mostly in sheep and cattle. South Molton had a railway station on the Devon Railway until 1966, when the branch line was finally closed. The station was described in detail in the best selling railway publication the Country Railway. It is situated on the southern side of Exmoor just off the North Devon link road, which in part follows the route of the railway line.
Hugh Squier (1625-1710), a wealthy merchant born locally, was a great benefactor of South Molton. He was the son of William Squier of Townhouse, now a farmhouse about 1 mile west of the town. At the age of 29, having made his fortune in London, where he resided at Westminster, he purchased the lordship of the manor of South Molton, which feudal position entitled him to the fees and tolls levied at the town's markets and fairs. His children all died young and having no heirs he thus decided to devote his wealth to philanthropical causes in his native town. In 1686 he built and endowed a grammar school in East Street, South Molton, known as Hugh Squier's Free School. The original Deed of Endowment and Appointment of Trustees is held at North Devon Record Office in Barnstaple.

Places to see in ( Great Torrington - UK )
Places to see in ( Great Torrington - UK )
Great Torrington (often abbreviated to Torrington, though the villages of Little Torrington and Black Torrington are situated in the same region) is a small market town in the north of Devon, England. Parts of it are sited on high ground with steep drops down to the River Torridge below. The centre of the town therefore commands spectacular views, though lower-lying parts are prone to occasional flooding. Torrington is in the very heart of Tarka Country, a landscape captured by Henry Williamson in his novel Tarka the Otter in 1927. Great Torrington has the most active volunteering community in the United Kingdom.
There were Iron Age and medieval castles and forts in Torrington, located on the Castle Hill. Great Torrington had strategic significance in the English Civil War. In the Battle of Torrington (1646), the Parliamentarians, led by Sir Thomas Fairfax, swept into the town and defeated Lord Hopton's forces. This marked the end of Royalist resistance in the West Country. Today the town is recognised as an important heritage centre for the history of the 17th century, and its people can often be seen dressed in costume for historical re-enactments, festivals and celebrations. An interactive Civil War Experience, Torrington 1646, marks the town's historically important role. The Torrington jail was not big enough for more than one man so the Royalists kept all the Parliamentarian prisoners in the church.
The branch line from Barnstaple to Bideford was extended to Great Torrington in July 1872 by the London and South Western Railway, which built a railway station and locomotive depot in the town. The station was always named 'Torrington', not 'Great Torrington'. Mayfair is an annual folk festival believed to date back to 1554 in which the children of Torrington dance around a maypole set up in the town square. The event takes place on the first Thursday in May. The junior school children elect a May Queen and she is crowned in the town square after a procession with attendants. There is then Maypole dancing after which the children go off to the fair.
Torrington Common is an area of common land which surrounds the town on all but the eastern side. The common is administered by a body called The Commons Conservators. The Common covers 365 acres (148 ha) and has over 20 miles (32 kilometres) of public rights of way. The landscape features a variety of habitats and a rich collection of flora and fauna.
Attractions in Great Torrington include:
Dartington Crystal, Factory, Visitors Centre, Glass Shop and Restaurant of Dartington Crystal – the biggest employer in the town and the only major working glass factory in the UK[10]
Rosemoor Garden, a collection of gardens, woodlands and parkland owned by the Royal Horticultural Society
A Victorian pannier market with a glass roof, restored in the early 2000s
Great Torrington Heritage Museum, located next to the pannier market
St Michael and All Angels, an Anglican church whose grounds include a mound said to contain the remains of 60 Civil War Royalist prisoners
The Plough arts centre, a small theatre, cinema and gallery
Great Torrington also has a selection of pubs selling food and a selection of real ales. These include The Torridge Inn, The Black Horse, Torrington Arms, Cavalier, Globe and Royal Exchange. Torrington has a small brewery called Clearwater Brewery with its Cavalier and 1646 brands.
Torrington is served by 43 local bus services mostly operated by Stagecoach South West, however it should be noted that some only operate one way and a number are weekly only service. More information from Traveline South West. Torrington has no direct train services, Barnstaple (11 miles) is served by the Tarka Line from Exeter St David's. One of the countries prettiest scheduled train routes, providing a beautiful entry to North Devon. National Express operate scheduled coach services from London, the Midlands and elsewhere to North Devon, but there are no direct services to Torrington.
