Branscombe Parish - The Roman, Saxon and Viking eras Within four years, a branch of the great military road called the Fosse Way had reached Axmouth, five miles east of Branscombe, and by 50 AD the Roman headquarters for the south-west had been established at Isca Dumnoniorum, the new Roman name for Exeter. There is quite likely to have been a prehistoric ridge-way along this route anyway, and perhaps the Romans used it as a by-road, without going to the trouble of creating an Imperial-standard all-weather road. The estates of Branscombe, Axmouth, Salcombe and Sidbury were seized and held as Royal manors. www.geocities.com /Athens/1491/saxon.html   (1086 words)
