andsome and flourishing town, containing 10 churches, 2 convents, a mosque, markets, bazaars, and several warehouses and counting-houses. It is the most important manufacturing town in Siberia, containing tanneries, especially celebrated for Russian leather, and manufactories of soap and coarse cloth. Gold is obtained in small quantities in the vicinity. Tiumen carries on an active transit trade, especially in soap, tallow, and other goods imported from the Kirghiz territory into Russia, and of timber and other Russian produce exported.

It has a handsome appearance, as many of the old houses were destroyed by a fire in 1731, and have since been replaced with more substantial buildings. There are several broad and well paved streets, crossing Fore Street, the main thoroughfare, at right angles. Both the rivers are crossed by good stone bridges. On an eminence N. of the town stand the remains of an old castle, consisting of the chief gateway, and some walls and towers. The castle was built in 1106; it was long the residence of the earls of Devon; and was stormed by Fairfax in 1645, and afterwards dismantled. The Church of St Peter, in the Gothic style, is considered, next to Exeter Cathedral, the finest ecclesiastical edifice in Devonshire. It is partly of the eleventh, and partly of the fifteenth century; and has a tower 116 feet high. St George's chapel of ease is in the Doric style; and Tiverton also contains places of worship for Independents, Baptists, and Wesleyans. Education is supplied by a grammar school, National and British schools, an endowed school, and two blue-coat schools. There are also several almshouses. Tiverton has a large market-place, guild-hall, theatre, assembly rooms, and jail. The woollen trade of the town was at one time important; but it fell into decay, and the cotton trade which succeeded it has also declined. The principal employment of the people now is lace-making, which was introduced in 1816; and there is also an iron-foundry in the town. A considerable trade is carried on. The borough is governed by 6 aldermen and 12 councillors, one of whom is mayor, and represented in Parliament by two members. Pop. 11,144.
