Chudleigh is a small market town of medieval origins, located on the important medieval main road from Exeter into South Devon. It was owned and presumably developed by the Bishops of Exeter
between the early 14th and 16th centuries. It was granted a market charter from the Crown in 1309. In the 15th century, the Bishop of Exeter is said to have provided the town with a running water supply.
