Honiton is a market town with around 12,150 residents (2021 census), long famed for a delicate lacemaking tradition that once dressed a queen.
A lacemaking tradition that dressed a queen
Honiton became the centre of a fine bobbin lace industry from around the 1500s-1600s, a skill said to have arrived with Flemish refugees, and by the 1600s thousands of people in the area were making lace by hand at home. The Honiton style became so renowned that lace in its tradition trimmed Queen Victoria's wedding dress in 1840, and the town's name is still used for that style of lace today.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Honiton shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — Honiton shoppers might otherwise find themselves travelling to Exeter for a wider selection.
