Ottery St Mary, Parish town in East Devon, England
The River Otter flows through this settlement in Devon, featuring medieval buildings, a Gothic parish church, and surrounding agricultural landscapes.
The name Ottery first appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Otri, with St Mary added in 1242 to reference the church of St Mary in Rouen.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, founder of the Romantic Movement, was born in this town in 1772, and his legacy continues through the annual Coleridge Memorial Festival.
The King's School, established in 1545 by Henry VIII, and Ottery St Mary Primary School provide education services to local residents.
During the annual Tar Barrels festival on November 5th, participants carry burning barrels through the streets following a tradition from the 17th century.
