Chulmleigh ( ) is a small Saxon hilltop market town and civil parish located in North Devon in the heart of the English county of Devon. It is located north west of Exeter, just north of the Mid Devon boundary, linked by the A377 and B3096 roads. History The first documentary reference to the place is in the Domesday Book of 1086 where it is recorded as ''Calmonlevge''. The name derives from the Old English personal name ''Ceolmund'' and the common place-name element ''leah'' which has various meanings including "woodland", "a woodland clearing" and "meadow".
