Queen Anne's Walk, Grade I listed building in Barnstaple, England.
Queen Anne's Walk is a Grade I listed building in Barnstaple featuring a white Beer stone colonnade with ten bays and heraldic shields adorning its structure. A central statue of Queen Anne stands prominently along The Strand, defining the building's presence at the waterfront.
The structure was completed in 1713 and served as a meeting place for merchants near Barnstaple Quay, where goods from North America were traded. This role shaped the town's commercial life for generations and established the location as a key trading hub.
The building displays thirteen armorials on its parapet, each representing a member of Barnstaple's Corporation who helped finance its construction.
The building now houses a cafe and is open to the public, with the facade and colonnade easily viewable from the street. Its location directly along The Strand makes it straightforward to find and visit, especially while exploring the waterfront area.
A circular stone bargaining table called the Tome Stone remains on the site, marking where merchants historically sealed their trading agreements. This simple artifact embodies centuries of business dealings conducted at a single spot.
