Abstract: |
The results of a heritage impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) in advance of the proposed extension of farm buildings at Great Potheridge, Merton, Torridge, Devon. This work was undertaken in support of a planning application. Potheridge was originally a Saxon estate identified in the Domesday Survey of 1086 as Porriga and was a large estate held by the mid-12th century by the Monk family, who retained ownership until the early 18th century. In the 17th century, likely during the ownership of General George Monck or/and his son (Christopher) an ambitious grand house was constructed, the remains of which survive as a Grade I Listed farmhouse, and Grade II* Listed garden wall. On the ending of the Mon(c)k family lineage the House feel into disrepair, with elements seemingly demolished to make the estate more manageable as a farm. The Estate was purchased by the Rolle family in 1742, with several subsequent phases of investment into the estate as a working farm. |
