Although village-sized, with a current population of around 5,023, increasing to 5,519 at the 2011 census for the electoral ward population which includes Countess Wear, which is its own individual settlement, "Topsham" was designated a town by a 1300 royal charter, until the Exeter urban district was formed.  It is served by Topsham railway station on the branch line to Exmouth.  In 2011 was the 150th anniversary of the railway coming to Topsham, on what is now called the Exeter–Exmouth Avocet Line.

Sheffield is a city in Colbert County, Alabama, United States, and is included in the Shoals metropolitan area.  As of the 2010 census, the population of the city was 9,039.  Sheffield is the birthplace of "country-soul pioneer" and songwriter Arthur Alexander, French horn player Willie Ruff, notable attorney, actor, former senator and presidential contender Fred Thompson, Watergate committee U.S. Senator Howell Heflin and U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, whose father was working in nearby Athens when he was born.  It sometimes is referred to as "the City of Senators" due to the births of Heflin, McConnell and Thompson within its borders.  Col. Harland Sanders worked in the Sheffield depot for Southern Railway in the 1900s.  It is also home to the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio where many popular 20th century musicians recorded their work, including Alexander and Ruff.

George Henry Sanders (3 July 1906 – 25 April 1972) was a Russian-born English film and television actor, singer-songwriter, music composer, and author.  His career as an actor spanned more than 40 years.  His upper-class English accent and bass voice often led him to be cast as sophisticated but villainous characters.  He is perhaps best known as Jack Favell in "Rebecca" (1940), Scott Folliott in "Foreign Correspondent" (1940) (a rare heroic part), Addison DeWitt in "All About Eve" (1950), for which he won an Academy Award, King Richard the Lionheart in "King Richard and the Crusaders" (1954), Mr. Freeze in a two-parter episode of "Batman" (1966), the voice of the malevolent man-hating tiger Shere Khan in Disney's "The Jungle Book" (1967), and as Simon Templar, "The Saint", in five films made in the 1930s and 1940s. Sanders was born in Exeter and educated at Christ Church, Oxford.  and held incumbencies in Langtree and Otterton.  He was Head Master of Blundell's School from 1834; and Rector of Sowton from then until his death on 24 June 1888. Exeter ( ) is a cathedral city in Devon England with a population of 129,800 (mid-2016 est. ).  It lies within the county of Devon, of which it is the county town as well as the home of Devon County Council.  The administrative area has the status of a non-metropolitan district under the administration of the County Council; a plan to grant the city unitary authority status was scrapped under the 2010 coalition government.  The city is on the River Exe about 37 mi northeast of Plymouth and 70 mi southwest of Bristol. The Devon County War Memorial is a First World War memorial, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and situated on the cathedral green in Exeter, the county town of Devon, in the south west of England.  It is one of fifteen War Crosses designed by Lutyens to a similar specification, and one of two to serve as a civic memorial in a city.  The first proposal for the county's war memorial was to complete the construction of a cloister at Exeter Cathedral to be dedicated to the Devon's war dead, but this scheme was abandoned due to lack of funds.  After considering multiple proposals, the Devon County War Memorial Committee commissioned Lutyens to design a War Cross instead.  The committee chose to site the memorial on the green of Exeter Cathedral after scouting several locations.  A war memorial for Exeter itself was being considered concurrently, but the committees for the two projects failed to work together, resulting in two separate memorials—the county memorial by the cathedral and Exeter City War Memorial in Northernhay Gardens. The Exeter Conspiracy, 1538, was a supposed attempt to overthrow the Henry VIII, who had taken control of the Church of England away from the Pope.  and replace him with a devout Catholic and Yorkist, Henry Courtenay, 1st Marquess of Exeter, KG who was 1st cousin to the King.  An Act of Attainder was brought against the Marquess of Exeter and he was found guilty of treason by his peers in Westminster Hall, along with other supposed conspirators.  Some sources suggest the 'conspiracy' was largely exaggerated by Thomas Cromwell, at this point Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Richard Rich, 1st Baron Rich.  Victorian historian J. A. Froude, however, writes that the Courtenays were 'petty sovereigns in Devonshire and Cornwall', which may go some way to explaining the true nature of the conspiracy.  Yet there is no evidence to suggest that Courtenay ever had the means to or intended to muster any kind of rebellion against the King, the charges brought against Lord Exeter were based on the correspondence he had with Reginald Pole, who was a Catholic Church official, and the testimony of Geoffrey Pole.
