| Devon Wool Trade |
Dr Todd Gray will be giving a Zoom talk, entitled ‘Devon’s Greatest Export: Woollen Cloth’, for the Lustleigh Society on Tuesday 30th March 2021 at 7:30pm.
Woollen cloth was Devon’s most significant export for hundreds of years. It was largely finished and then funnelled through Exeter until 1800 to markets principally in Spain, Portugal, and the Low Countries, Italy and France. The recent discovery of a cloth book of the 1760s has revealed the vibrancy and range of this cloth. This illustrated talk uses 2,475 samples to bring alive an industry which was once the heart of Devon’s economy.
