Abstract: |
The history of Putsborough Court, formerly known as Tuckers Farm, is shared with the history of the manor of Georgeham within which was the manor of Croyde which itself was linked with name of Putsborough. There is uncertainty about the manorial status of Putsborough and it appears likely that the tenements named Putsborough became known as a manor in the early post-medieval period. For much of the medieval period Putsborough within Croyde was held by the Fleming family. In the 15th century the Fleming holdings broke up, Putsborough passing through several hands until in the 17th century it came into the joint ownership of Martha Gay of Barnstaple and Sir Halswell Tynte of Somerset. From the end of the 17th century until the early 20th century the 'reputed manor' of Putsborough, i.e. its lands, tenements and the rents derived therefrom, was sold, resold and mortgaged until it was finally sold off in parcels in 1920. The property remained a working farm until the Second World War period, after which it changed hands several times, becoming renamed Putsborough Court circa 1970. Putsborough Court or Tuckers Farm appears to be a building of ultimately late medieval origin, having undergone numerous alterations over the centuries, possibly reflecting the 'reputed' manor's changes of ownership. The building(s) appear to date from the 15th or early 16th century but both the form and the function of many of the elements have changed and developed over the centuries. |
