Honiton has a population estimated at 11,822 (based on mid-year estimates for the two Honiton Wards in 2009). History The town grew along the line of the Fosse Way, the ancient Roman road linking Exeter (Isca Dumnoniorum) to Lincoln (Lindum).

The league's current main sponsor is Toolstation, so it is also known as the Toolstation League.

The champion club may apply for promotion to a Step 4 league, which in practice will almost certainly be the Southern League Division One South and West. Below the Western League are four local leagues covering smaller areas, the Gloucestershire County League, the Somerset County League, the Dorset Premier League and the Wiltshire League. The South West Peninsula League Premier Divisions East and West are also feeders to the Western League but due t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
