More about this scene
In 1282, the Countess of Devon, aggrieved with the merchants of Exeter, constructed a weir across the River Exe obstructing access to the city's port. Topsham, downstream from her weir, flourished as a port, as exporters were forced to ship wool from this new centre of commerce.
