Summary
Marked as Rashes Causeway on Donn's map of 1765, it has been suggested that Threshers was once the primary route westwards out of Crediton. However, a map of 1743 clearly marks the road as the new road to Barnstaple Cross, the A377 as the old road.

It seems likely that Threshers was the primary routeway westwards out of Crediton at least in the 18th century, and forms the southern boundary of a strip of long narrow fields cut across by Western Road to the north. Donn's map, published in 1765, shows the main road as 'Rashes Causeway'.
