Still exists as a garage today selling Pace petrol. The at the time super modern building has been amended and the current garage has an unusual canopy. There is competition from an Esso outlet at the other end of the village. Here's the same view today..... www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.8945078,-3.3672375,3a,75y,351.1...

Church of St Andrew, Halberton Devon is located near the centre of the village which derives its name from a Saxon chief Haligbeort and ‘tun’, a farm settlement. It was once important enough to be a Hundred, an administrative division of a shire. which included the parishes of Halberton, Sampford Peverell and Willand, as well as parts of Uplowman and Burlescombe. Many of the farms date back to Doomsday or shortly after and Halberton is still largely a farming community. The village is divided into 2 parts, Higher Town and Lower Town, separated by the mill stream and pond which is fed by warm springs and never freezes. The Great Western railway once had a branch line running through Halberton to Tiverton, but this has now gone.

In 1539 the last 2 monks left the priory following Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries. Their land which passed to Bristol Cathedral became known as Halberton Dean (now ‘Lower Town’) and the Priory House in the High Street became a dwelling with new sandstone chimney stack www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/11zojy0N1W
In 1553 there were 5 bells in the tower - there are now 6 - the latest dated 1841 is by Thomas Meers Founders

During the Civil War 1642 - 1651 soldiers camped in the churchyard and unnamed soldiers are buried here as is the Roundhead Commander Colonel John Were who died in 1658
Alterations continued in the 15c and the two storey vestry was added in 16c

The most unusual coach operated by Spearings was HKO 349L, one of just two AEC Reliances fitted with Jonckheere coachwork - the other was NAC 276L. I believe it had been new to The Kings Ferry and came from Harris of Catshill in the mid eighties. I forget the model name of this coach (for some reason I have Solaire in my mind) but as far as I am aware the only others in the UK were on Ford chassis for Excelsior which had seen previous use in Belgium. HKO is seen here at Willand in April, 1990, and would be scrapped locally a couple of years later.

If you were on the Somerset Levels yesterday and were wondering where all the little egrets were. Well they are currently residing in a very damp field In Willand Devon. There were another 10-15 birds to the left, behind a bush, at the end of the video
Apologies for the quality of the video which was hand held out of the car window.

Clark's Motors (founded 1956), on what was the main A38, later B3181, through the centre of Cullompton. The garage has now been replaced by what looks like flats with a shop on the ground floor.
It's caught here in the transition from Pace to Q8, with pre-Rover Group grey/burgundy Rover branding (and Unipart window decals).
From memory, Clark's lasted selling Q8 petrol and Rover cars until the mid-1990s, still with the swing-arms out over the pavement. Companies House says the last annual returns were filed in 1998.
From visits to Cullompton to see relatives in the 1990s, I remember the town had (pre-M5 Services) this Pace/Q8 garage, an Esso (later Texaco) to the south of the town centre, a Jet garage on the B3181 spur to the M5 (which has now been replaced by a Tesco), and another Esso (which kept the 1960s/70s elliptical sign) heading out on the old A38 towards Willand.
