Wotton was traditionally associated with the wool trade and it is thought that the town's name is derived from 'Wool Town'.
A famous past resident is Sir Issac Pittman, who invented phonography.
Wotton is also home to the engineering company Renishaw, whose business is about a mile from the town centre.
