a market-town and seaport of England, Devonshire, on the right bank of the Exe, at the head of its estuary, 4 miles S.E. of Exeter. It extends about a mile along the river, partly on a level with it, and partly on higher ground. About the middle of the town stands the parish church, containing monuments by Chantrey to Admiral Sir J. T. Duckworth, and his son Colonel George Duckworth, who fell at Albuera. Topsham has also Methodist, Independent, and Unitarian places of worship, national and other schools. Ropes, anchors, and chain-cables are made here; paper-making and ship-building are also carried on. The commerce of the town was formerly extensive, but is now confined chiefly to the coasting trade. Pop. 3877.
