First mention of the manor of Poltimore is in the Domesday Survey of 1086. By the time Richard Bampfylde began building his Tudor mansion, the estate had been held by Bampfyldes for more than three centuries - after John Bampfylde was bequeathed it by a Canon of Exeter Cathedral in 1298. That first great house can still be seen at Poltimore today and is currently undergoing major repairs. Now Grade II* listed the house appeared in the BBC2 programme 'Resoration' in 2003 which resulted in the formation of a restoration trust of volunteers and fundraisers.

For more information about the history of the house or events please see the website or email: events@poltimore.org (telephone: 01392 248938).

The House and grounds are situateed very close to the cathedral city of Exeter and has lovely grounds and easy parking.
