Torrington is a very ordinary town in North Devon, famous for its fine glassworks but otherwise not particularly attractive to tourists, who simply pass through it on their way to the coast. There was not much accommodation and there were not very many things in the town centre for people to do.
A few years ago, a group of local people put their heads together to try to find a way of drawing more tourists into the town and getting them to spend money there. This would generate business and also create new jobs.
Torrington is the site of the last battle of the English Civil War and so the group came up with the idea of making this the focus attraction. A number of local residents already had 17th-century costumes, which they used in recreating the battle, and they were invited to contribute their ideas. Working groups were formed to develop different aspects of the plan, and a tourism company was employed to assess its financial viability. A company called Genesis was formed to run the financial side of the business.
The next step was to secure the capital needed to start the project. The team applied for a community project grant which was advertised nationally, but the first application was unsuccessful. The following year they applied again and were awarded ?1 million.
Money soon attracts money, and the sum of ?2.5 million needed to implement the project was soon raised. Torrington now welcomes thousands of tourists every year to events and attractions established by the project.​
