North Tawton 600 ft (185m) east-west by 390 ft (120m), and was located adjoining the Roman road between "Isca Dumnoniorum" (Exeter) and Okehampton. In addition, the site of a temporary marching camp has been identified half a mile to the north. By the time of the Domesday survey (1086), there were six farm / manor holdings in what is now North Tawton Parish, including that of Tawton which was the forerunner of the town we know today. St Peter's Church is first recorded in 1257. Only the tower of the present building dates from that time, with the rest being mostly 14th
Moridunum (Axminster) century and occupation continued until the end of the 4th. Moridunum (Axminster) Moridunum was a fort and small town in the Roman province of Britannia. Its remains are located at Woodbury Farm, immediately south of Axminster in the English county of Devon. The square fort was built at the intersection of two Roman roads, the Fosse Way and Durnovaria-Isca Dumnoniorum road, apparently in the 2nd century. Its ditch survives around much of the site. A civilian settlement soon grew up nearby, encouraged by the building of what has been interpreted as a large stone mansio for the provincial postal service.
