Read more of occupation is from the Roman period: there was a fort on the hill above the town and occupation in the current town centre. Columtune was mentioned in Alfred the Great's will, which left it to his youngest son Æthelweard (c. 880–922). In the past, the town's economy had a large component of wool and cloth manufacture, then, later, leather working and paper manufacture. A large proportion of the town's inhabitants are commuters, but there is some local manufacturing, including flour and paper mills. It has a monthly farmers' market held on the second Saturday of every month, which is the oldest event of its kind in the South West. It is home to two grade I listed buildings: the fifteenth-century St Andrew's parish church and the seventeenth-century house known as The Walronds. The centre of the town is a conservation area; there are seven grade II*-listed buildings and ninety grade II-listed buildings in the parish.
