Heavitree is a district of Exeter, Devon, England. Part of the historic district is currently one of the wards for elections to the City Council. Formerly an independent Urban District, it became a part of Exeter in 1913. Its name is thought to derive from heafod treow (old English for "head tree"), which refers to a tree that either served as a neutral meeting place for Saxon kings, or as a convenient place for hanging criminals. The last executions for witchcraft in England took place at Heavitree in 1682, when the 'Bideford Witches' Temperance Lloyd, Mary Trembles, and Susanna Edwards were executed. (Local folklore used to associate the name with the aftermath of the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685, when Judge Jeffreys supposedly ran out of gibbets.) It lies to the east of the city centre, and was formerly the first significant village outside the city on the road to London. Much traffic continues to pass through the district, since it lies on one of the most convenient routes from the city centre to the northbound M5 motorway and eastbound A30 trunk road.
