Description: The woollen trade was a historical and influential part of Cullompton’s heritage. There was a parish workhouse in operation in Cullompton from 1738. A 1777 Parliamentary report records Cullompton workhouse housing 120 inmates. Papers of the Cullompton Workhouse are extant from 1798-1826. In 1798 insurance was taken out for Woollen Manufactory carried out by hand. A note by William Upcott in 1847 states that the Brick Building was used for hand loom weaving. The 1841 Tithe Map shows the Workhouse and Garden, which have the number 2269. The back of the factory can be viewed from New Cut, its Georgian bricks and dressing are consistent with a date of Late 18th Century/Early nineteenth century.
