![]() Moretonhampstead, DevonTravel Information and nearby accommodation
An old market town in the Wray valley, on the edge of Dartmoor. Moretonhampstead was first settled around 700 AD. The town was mentioned in the Domesday Book, and was granted a market charter by King John in 1207 (in exchange for a 'rent' of one sparrowhawk per year). It was a centre of cloth production through the medieval period. The church of St Andrew dates to 1450, roughly contemporary with a row of granite almshouses which are now owned by the National Trust.
