History of Fulford Manor

Fulford Manor, is a Grade I listed manor, locationed is an historic estate in the parish of Dunsford, Devon and it said to be "probably the most ancient in the county".  

The present house was mainly constructed in the early 16th Century and is a semi fortified mansion, but the medieval bones of the original house still lurk beneath the plaster and panelling. Standing in an isolated position, it boasts many interesting and spooky rooms and features, including a superb panelled Great Hall and a marvellous 17th Century staircase. The attic rooms and cellars are certainly a place where you will not wish to be alone for long.

During the Civil War in the mid 17th Century the family were ardent Cavaliers. Initially the house was held for the King but it was stormed by Parliamentarians in 1642; it was retaken by the Royalists later when they besieged Exeter but taken again by the roundheads in 1646 and garrisoned by them until the end of the War. The house suffered badly as a result of the fighting, resulting in much damage to the property and a significant loss of life in the surrounding grounds. The family retired to Dorset during Cromwell's rule and only came back to Fulford after the restoration of the Monarchy in 1660.

Much of the house remained a ruin till the late 17th Century when Colonel Francis Fulford repaired it all. The last significant remodelling of the property was in the early 1800s with work carried out by the prolific architect James Wyatt and the result is the house as you see it today.
