Full Description
The Manor of Dewlish was granted to the Earls of Gloucester in the 12th century, later the property was held by the Latimers (ED.III) and the Lord Mordaunts and in the early 17th century the family of Radford. "The seat of the Radfords, who probably built it, stands near the church, and was the capital mansion of this manor". <1>
Manor Farm formerly Manor House <4.1> is a residence constructed of stone and flint with mullioned windows and has a double gabled front, built in Tudor style. The house appears to be substantially in its original form.
Manor Farm House, immediately W of the church, is of two storeys with attics; the walls are of banded flint and stone,
with ashlar dressings; the roofs are slated. The house dates from the beginning of the 17th century and was probably built by Arthur Radford who acquired the manor from Lord Mordaunt. In the 19th century the roofs were renewed and altered and a new wing was built on the S. <3-5>
