'''Heavitree''' is a historic village and former [[civil parish]] situated formerly outside the walls of the [[City of Exeter]] in [[Devon]], England, and is today an eastern district of that city. It was formerly the first significant village outside the city on the road to London. It was the birthplace of the librarian [[Thomas Bodley]], and the theologian [[Richard Hooker]], and from the 16th century to 1818 was a site for executions within what is now the car park of the [[St Luke's Campus]] of the [[University of Exeter]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Exeter's Executed|url=http://www.exetermemories.co.uk/em/executed.php|publisher=exetermemories.co.uk|access-date=3 September 2022}}</ref>
