Stover, Teigngrace
Stover in the parish of Teigngrace, Devon, is a historic estate. The Georgian mansion house known as Stover House was built between 1776-80 by James I Templer (1722–1782), a self-made magnate who made his fortune building dockyards, and is now occupied by Stover House School, a private school. 114 acres of the former estate situated south of the A38 and comprising woodland, heathland, grassland, marsh and Stover Lake, now forms the "Stover Country Park", a nature reserve owned and managed by Devon County Council and open to public access.〔http://www.devon.gov.uk/stover_country_park.htm〕 The "Templer Way" is an 18 mile long public footpath and cycleway between Haytor on Dartmoor and Teignmouth on the south coast which follows the route of the Haytor Granite Tramway and the Stover Canal, both built by the Templer family of Stover for the purpose of exporting granite quarried on Dartmoor.〔http://www.devon.gov.uk/templer_way〕
==Stover House==
Stover House was built between 1776-80 by James I Templer (1722–1782), a self-made magnate who made his fortune building dockyards, possibly to his own design.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus & Cherry, Bridget, The Buildings of England: Devon, London, 2004, p.768〕 Probably at some time after 1829〔Pevsner, p.768〕 the south face was given an addition of a huge porte-cochere which obscures much of the building, and which contains under a classical portico of Doric columns a curved double flight of balustraded stairs. The large stable block is situated to the west of the house. In the garden are a small classical temple and a grotto. The grand entrance gate with Doric columns is situated on the busy A38 main road and was probably built at the same time as the porte-cochere, to which it is similar in style.〔Pevsner, p.769〕
