Axminster is a historic market town in Devon, England, situated on the River Axe. The town is perhaps best known for giving its name to Axminster carpets, which were manufactured here from 1755 to 2013.
The town's history dates back to the Celtic period, and it was later established as a Roman settlement due to its strategic location at the intersection of two Roman roads. The town center features several historic buildings, including the Minster Church of St. Mary, which dates from the 12th century.
Today, Axminster maintains its character as a traditional English market town while serving as a cultural hub for the surrounding rural communities. The town's heritage is preserved through various historical sites and its museum, which showcases local history including the story of its famous carpet industry.
