Tiverton – 6 Quirky Facts
- Good Shot!
In 1106 Richard de Redvers built a castle under the order of Henry III, thus the de Redvers became the first (Norman!) Earls of Devon. The castle was attacked during the English Civil War and only fell after a ‘lucky shot’ from the Parliamentarians lead by Thomas Fairfax, broke one of the drawbridge chains allowing the besiegers to charge inside. - Lost The Plot
One Earl of Devon, Henry Courtenay, was beheaded by King Henry VIII in 1539 after being implicated in a plot against the King. Henry’s son was imprisoned in the Tower of London and released by Queen Mary. After being romantically linked with Princess Elizabeth (who became Queen Elizabeth I), he was accused of a plotting against Queen Mary and banished to live in exile. - Tiverton Tree Trail
No, not a local tongue twister, Tiverton Tree Trail is 3km of scenic, tree lined paths and routes for cyclists, dog walkers, runners or anyone wanting to enjoy the great outdoors and stunning countryside. - Two Rivers
The name derives from ‘Twyfyrde’ which means town of two fords, the crossings in question were over the Lowman and Exe and the town was originally a Saxon settlement. - Fire!
the town was virtually destroyed by fire twice. The first occurred in 1596, reportedly started in a frying pan and raised most of the town. The second struck in 1612 after workers, supposed to be watching a furnace, were distracted by a dog fight. - Grand Western
The Grand Western Canal was originally built to transport limestone from quarries in Tiverton. The plans included linking the canal with Bridgewater, through to the Bristol Channel but this never came to fruition.
