Few people realise that the splendid mills seen in Gloucestershire,
Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset and Devon are the legacy of the cloth
industry, for which this area was well known from the Middle Ages
onwards.Woollen cloth, silk, linen, lace, rope and sailcloth were
made in south-west England and an introductory chapter looks at how
these fabrics were produced to meet changing markets. Most of the
book is devoted to the buildings themselves, ranging from the
splendid Tuckers Hall in Exeter through clothiers' houses and rural
fulling and spinning mills to the homes of the workforce, many of
which were also workplaces for handloom weavers well into the
nineteenth century.
