About: The writing states: This Loaf was made in 1980. to help raise money for the restoration of Gold Hill's ancient cobbled surface and the repair of the 700 year old Abbey Buttress Walls. Gold Hill has featured in many films and television productions - the Hovis Bread advertisement probably the most well known.

Rank Hovis generously donated £10,000 towards the £75,000 required to finance the restoration work. NDDC (North Devon District Council) also gave £10,000 and the balance was raised by public donation and local fundraising, under the Mayors Gold Hill restoration appeal.
