In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Colyford like this:
COLYFORD, a tything, with a village, in Colyton parish, Devon: on Seaton railway, 1 mile S of Colyton. The village stands on a Roman road; probably occupies the site of a Roman station; was once a pleasant place of some note; and has a post office under Axminster, a r. station, and a fair on the Wednesday after 11 March.
