Grade II listed Archway Bookshop, Church Street, Axminster
The Historical Axminster blue plaque on the left records that what is now Archway Bookshop was probably built in the 13th century. Although its original purpose is uncertain, the building was open on the ground floor to allow the passage of carts. A stone stairway to the left-hand side of the door led to the first floor, possibly used as a hayloft or accommodation for the carters.
During the 1700s it was converted to a private house, Church Cottage. In the 1960s it was used by a dental technician. It has been a bookshop since 1966.
The arch forming the doorway is probably a window brought from Newenham Abbey, which was located south of the town and founded in 1246. It was surrendered to the commissioners of Henry VIII in 1539 and was demolished almost immediately. Stone from the Abbey has been used in many Axminster buildings.
Grade II listed in 1950 (as Church Cottage).
