It all started with Thomas Witty in 1755, when he started using the original Axminster Carpet methods. All these years later, Axminster has become known for its carpets and the proud traditions that have been continued by Axminster Carpets. These carpets are widely considered the finest in the world and can be found in train carriages, aircrafts and thousands of homes. 
 
Axminster Carpets offer bespoke carpet services as well as commercial carpets with stores across the UK. They are still based in our town, where it all started.
