(SU 7116 3550) Manor House (T.I.). (1)

The Manor Farm house, which probably dates back at least to the
18th c., is undoubtedly on the site of the old Manor House.

At the back of the house the foundations of a chapel of the
Bishops of Exeter can be traced. A pigeon house is mentioned in
a survey of the manor taken in 1595. (a). (2)

Manor Farm is almost entirely modern.

No trace of a chapel was seen and a slight scatter of stone and
brick at SU 7121 3552 at the east end of "Chapel Orchard" could
equally represent the site of the dove-cote although the farmer
Mr. Gould believes the chapel stood there. (3)

Manor House Farmhouse, 16th-19thc., listed grade II*. (4)
