COLYTON, or Culliton (St. Andrew), a markettown and '''parish''', in the union of Axminster, hundred of Colyton, Honiton and S. divisions of Devon, 5 miles (S. W.) from Axminster, and 151 (W. S. W.) from London; containing 2451 inhabitants. This place derives its name from the river Coly, on which it is situated, near the confluence of that stream with the Axe. The church is a spacious structure in the later English style, with a low embattled tower rising from the centre, surmounted by a handsome octagonal lantern turret with pierced parapets: the aisles have been widened to include the transepts, and the cruciform arrangement is thus destroyed. There are places of worship for '''Independents''', '''Wesleyans''', and '''Unitarians'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50891 A Topographical Dictionary of England]'' (1848), pp. 668-672.</ref>
