Background
History
Budleigh Salterton is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) as part of the manor of Budleigh, held by the King. The wider area remained largely rural throughout the medieval period, with settlement based on agriculture and dispersed coastal holdings within the parish. During the medieval and early modern periods, Budleigh Salterton remained a small fishing and farming settlement. The coastal environment and lack of major transport routes contributed to its relatively slow development compared with other south Devon towns.
