Tetcott Manor, Tetcott, near Holsworthy

Tetcott Manor forms the centre of Tetcott, an isolated settlement about five miles south of Holsworthy. The manor house has stables, a farm (see image TOTEH 2242), a church and a few outbuildings. The Devon Gardens Trust described it as follows in 2026: 'The Manor has been owned by the Molesworths of Pencarrow, Cornwall since 1788, before that it was the manor house of the Arscotts. The Manor dates from the late C17 but has been adapted and modified over the years. The Manor is constructed of granite and a slate roof. There are a number of fine outbuildings, including a brick granary (recently restored) and brick stables which may have been associated with the very grand brick house of c.1700 which was demolished in 1831. There is a walled garden with brick walls on three sides adjoining the house and another smaller walled garden adjacent to the Church.'
