Palmer House 1752
Palmer House, which is Grade II* listed, was built in 1752 by John (later Sir) Palmer, who was three times Mayor of Great Torrington, and brother-in-law to the famous artist Sir Joshua Reynolds. Palmer House is unique in that unlike many Georgian properties from this period it retains many original features, which include fine ornate plaster ceilings, original marble and carved fireplaces, original mahogany doors and fine balustraded staircase. The house remained in the ownership of the Palmer family until the 1890's. During that time many famous people visited and stayed at the house. These include Dr. Samuel Johnson, who along with his friend Sir Joshua Reynolds, stayed at the house in 1762, Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, who had relatives in this area is also known to have visited Palmer House.

Great Torrington - Vaughan's Glove Factory
Now closed, this amazing confection was built in 1884 and remained in use until recently. Pevsner described it as the oddest building in town and the architecture is more ecclesiastical than industrial.
