Ottery St Mary
Situated on the River Otter, in the
county of Devon, Ottery St Mary's early prosperity was founded on the
wool trade and, later, on lace making. The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
of Ancient Mariner fame, whose father was a local vicar, grew up in the
town. There is some excellent trout fishing to be had in the River
Otter. The map below shows the features of the
town as it was in the mid twentieth century. Select an area to enlarge
