Full Description
Dewlish House, over 1/2m SSW of the church, is of two storeys with attics. According to Hutchins the house was built by
Thomas Skinner in 1702. The main front, to the NE, is of Purbeck stone: the SE end wall is of Ham Hill ashlar and the SW front is of brick, perhaps originally rendered; the NW end wall is modern, having been built since the removal of an 18th and 19th-century service wing which extended to the NW. The roofs are slate-covered. The house is a good example of domestic building of the period, with interesting archaism in the internal planning. It contains 18th century fittings of good quality. <2>
Name confirmed: as described. See ground photograph. <4>
