East Budleigh Devon
 In reverse to the poverty resulting from the 14c Black Death, the ‘’town’’ of Budleigh enjoyed there after, a great deal of prosperity, thanks to the production of wool and the wool dying with whortleberries, wool trade with the Low Countries, shipbuilding at Budleigh Haven, extraction of lime and the production of salt on the foreshore.
 
A number of merchants occupied fine houses in the high street which can still be seen today, now split up into much smaller cottages.
