Background
Description
Colyford is served by St Michael's Church. There are a post office, a butcher and two pubs. Colyton Grammar School dates from 1546 and made headlines in recent years as the first school to 'opt out' of local authority control and gain grant-maintained status and for achieving very high rankings in national examination league tables. Colyford is home to a petrol station built in 1927–8. Although it no longer sells fuel, the filling station still displays 1950s petrol pumps. The annual Goose Fayre is held on the last Saturday in September and draws crowds from all around.
