Flower Delivery to Axminster by Clare Florist

Axminster is a market town situated on a hill overlooking the Axe River in Devon, England. It has a moderate population of about 6000 people and it holds its market every Thursday. Axminster became a popular place due to its carpet production business. Thomas Whitty in 1755 started making the carpets near the courthouse and soon the carpets became popular and took the town’s name. Today Axminster carpets are produced by Axminster Carpets Ltd inside the town. Axminster type carpets are now also produced worldwide. The Church of St Mary is the centerpiece of the town and the town has great rail links connecting London and Exeter.
