Cullompton is a town in Devon, England, lying on the River Culm and close to the M5 motorway. It has a population of around 8,000 people.
The town is thought to have been named for Saint Columba. Notable buildings in Cullompton include the fifteenth century parish church and sixteenth century Cullompton Manor House(now the Manor House Hotel), built as the town grew around the woolen industry. The town had another major expansion in the 1970s as the construction of the motorway made it a popular commuter town.
It was massively expanded again during the closing years of the 20th century and the first few years of the 21st.
