Heanton Satchville, Huish is an estate in the parish of Huish in Devon. It should not be confused with the nearby former ancient estate of Heanton Satchville, Petrockstowe, from which it took its name. It is the seat of Baron Clinton〔Debrett's Peerage, 2015〕 who owns the largest private estate in Devon, known as Devon Clinton Estates. ==History== According to the Lysons Brothers, Magna Britannia (1822): :Huish, or Hewish, anciently Hiwis, gave name to the equestrian family of Hiwis, whose heiress married Chief Justice Tresilian, in the reign of Richard II; and afterwards Sir John Colshill. The manor of Huish passed afterwards, by purchase, to a branch of the Yeo family, who resided at this place for many generations. It was sold by Edward Rooe Yeo, Esq., M.P., the last of this branch of the family, to Mr. John Dufty, of whom it was purchased, 1782, by Sir James Norcliffe Innes, Bart., now Duke of Roxburgh; who when Sir James Innes built a new house on the estate for his own residence, called Innes House. Huish was sold by the Duke to Richard Eales, Esq., of whom it was purchased, about 1812, by Lord Clinton, whose property and seat it now is. Robert George William Trefusis, 17th Baron Clinton (1764–1797), whose family were from Trefusis in Cornwall, lived briefly at Heanton Satchville, Petrockstowe, until it burned down in 1795, which he had inherited together with the title Baron Clinton from the Rolle family. The Rolles had inherited Heanton Satchville, Petrockstowe, by marriage to the heiress of the Yeo family, a longer-lived branch of which also owned the manor of Huish. The 17th Baron died two years later aged 33, and his wife a year later, leaving a son and heir aged 10, Robert Cotton St John Trefusis, 18th Baron Clinton (1787–1832), without a habitable residence. On reaching his majority of 21, in 1812 the 18th Baron purchased Innes House and estate and the manor of Huish, across the valley from the destroyed Heanton Satchville, and renamed it Heanton Satchville. The previous mansion was turned into a farmhouse, today known as Heanton Barton. The mansion at Huish also burned down, on 18 December 1932, and was rebuilt in 1937-8 by Charles John Robert Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis, 21st Baron Clinton (1863–1957) to the design of Sir Walter and Michael Tapper, in the late 17th-century style, in an H-shape, with modillion cornice and sash-windows.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus & Cherry, Bridget, The Buildings of England: Devon, London, 2004, p.497〕 Bicton House, inherited from his uncle Mark Rolle (d.1907) had nevertheless remained the 21st Baron's principal seat until his death in 1957.〔Delderfield, Eric R., West Country Historic Houses and their Families, Newton Abbot, 1968, pp.79-82, Heanton Satchville, p.80〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heanton Satchville, Huish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
