ST BREOCK SW 97 SE 3/49 Pawton Farmhouse and garden walls to front

GV II

Farmhouse and garden walls to front. Probably C18, extended in early 1800s, possibly with earlier origins and reusing material from the earlier manor house. Stone rabble. Asbestos slate double span roof with gable ends and brick end stacks, the stack on left projecting. Plan: Plan altered and the extent of the earlier house is uncertain as it was heavily remodelled in the C19. Double depth plan with central entrance, 2 reception rooms on front, stair to rear of passage and kitchen and dairy originally to rear. Exterior: 2-storeys. Symmetrical 3 window front with 16-pane horned sashes and C20 plank door in centre. Asymmetrical rear elevation. Interior: Early C19 stair with turned newel and stick balusters. In room on rear right is a reset timber lintel from the earlier manor house with a series of cusped mouldings, possibly of the C16: the lintel has been reset asymmetrically and has been truncated on the right. Slatestone garden wall to front of house comprising high ramped wall on west side of garden, reducing in height to front (south) and to east. The parish was taxed under Pawton in the Domesday. Given to the see of Cornish Bishops, then to the Bishop of Crediton (Kirton) and finally becoming the seat of the Bishops of Exeter. The manor contained a deer park and in 1283 the Jurymen of Pydar complained that the Bishop of Exeter had obstructed the public highway at Pawton by erection of the deer park walls. Pawton became the property of the Prior of Bodmin and was seized at the Dissolution, remaining in Crown hands until 1606 when it was granted by King James I to Sir Arthur Gorges. The manor possessed a court let and there was a prison at Penquain. Longden, Preb.
