About Fencing in Barnstaple
Barnstaple in Devon was chartered as a borough around 930, making it one of only four towns in Devon recorded as a borough in the Domesday Book of 1086, and it developed into the principal market town of north Devon over the following centuries. Its 15th century Long Bridge across the River Taw, a Grade I listed structure, has been repeatedly widened and rebuilt over the years but still follows its original medieval line, and the town remains a hub for the surrounding rural area.
