Heanton Satchville, Petrockstowe
Heanton Satchville was a historic manor in the parish of Petrockstowe, North Devon, England. With origins in the Domesday manor of Hantone, it was first recorded as belonging to the Yeo family in the mid-14th century and was then owned successively by the Rolle, Walpole and Trefusis families. The mansion house was destroyed by fire in 1795. In 1812 Lord Clinton purchased the manor and mansion of nearby Huish, renamed it Heanton Satchville, and made it his seat.
The nearly-forgotten house was featured in the 2005 edition of Rosemary Lauder's "Vanished Houses of North Devon".〔Lauder (2005), pp. 3, 49–50.〕 A farmhouse now occupies the former stable block with a large tractor shed where the house once stood.
==Description of mansion==
The mansion was at one time "one of the most imposing houses ever to exist in Devon".〔Lauder (2005), p. 49.〕 The Hearth Tax return of 1674 recorded 26 hearths for the house, making it the second largest house in Devon after Werrington.〔Lauder (2005), pp. 49–50.〕
It was described by Rev. John Swete in 1789. Referring to it as a "vast pile built at different times", he noted a carved date of 1639 which he concluded was not the earliest date of the building but only served to date the portal above which it was located. The parapet walls, the mullions of the windows and the pavement were all made of moorstone. The south side of the house had a "most noble terrace" of 130 paces in width, with a bowling green and adjacent walks. The property afforded views of several churches and the house of Sir James Innes in Huish to the east of the property.〔Gray (1997), pp. 25-27.〕
