Barnstaple history
Pilton is recorded in the Burghal Hidage (c. 917) as a burh founded by Alfred the Great. The town’s wealth in the Middle Ages was founded on it being a staple port licensed to export wool. In the early 14th century it was Devon’s third richest town after Exeter and Plymouth.

Famous Barnstaple landmarks to explore while you travel at Barnstaple
St Anne’s Chapel in the central churchyard is the most important of the ancient buildings to survive. Queen Anne’s Walk was erected in about 1708 as a mercantile exchange. Georgian Guildhall is also of interest, as is the Pannier Market beneath it.
Barnstaple Castle
A wooden castle was built by Geoffrey de Mowbray, Bishop of Coutances in the 11th century. Juhel of Totnes later occupied the castle and founded Barnstaple Priory just outside its walls. The castle’s first stone buildings were probably erected by Henry de Tracey, a supporter of King Stephen.
St Anne’s Chapel
Grade II listed St Anne’s Chapel was restored in 2012 and used as a community centre. It was an ancient Gothic chantry chapel whose assets were acquired by the Mayor of Barnstaple and others in 1585.
Pannier Market and Butchers’ Row
Barnstaple has been the major market for North Devon since Saxon times. Demands for health regulation of its Victorian food market saw the construction in 1855–1856 of a Pannier Market, originally known as the Vegetable Market. Built on the other side of the street, Butchers’ Row consists of ten shops with pilasters of Bath Stone and wrought-iron supports.
Others
Barnstaple is home to the largest crematorium in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The South West Coast Path National Trail runs through the town and gives access to walks along the spectacular North Devon coast.
