Sir Walter Ralegh Room
Sir Walter Raleigh was born in East Budleigh and is our most famous local historic figure. He rose to prominence in tumultuous times: as an explorer, entrepreneur, soldier, courtier, scholar and poet, he became a favourite of one ruler but was despised by the next, made a fortune and lost it again, inspired loyalty and love, endured heartbreak and despair and in the end was a victim of political rivalry.
