East Street displays the characteristic bowed shape of a medieval market place in the main street. This would have been the market place for East Town. There is no known documentary evidence for a market in East Street, but its position in relation to the collegiate church suggests it may have been the original medieval market place with the West Town market in High Street representing medieval expansion. The mid 18th century map in the Devon Record Office does not extend to East Street.
