Exeter Landmarks and Monuments: Exeter, Devon, England
"Address: 140 Fore Street, Exeter, Devon, EX4 3AN, England, UK Tel: +44 01392 412348 Standing on Fore Street and dating back to 1471, Tuckers Hall is now a Grade II listed landmark and was formerly a chapel, being built for the city's guild of the weavers, tuckers and shearers (the woollen cloth workers). Soon after, this medieval building began to function as a meeting space and guildhall for the weavers, and was modernised by the Victorians in the 1870s. Exeter is very famous for its historical woollen textile industry, and in the early 18th century, was actually responsible for some 25% of England's overall output."

Paignton
"Situated in Cecil Road, Kirkham House is owned by English Heritage. Not a bad place to be on a hot day as the house seems to remain cool in the summer. Kirkham is a medieval house built probably in the fourteenth century."
