Winscott, Peters Marland
Winscott was an historic manor in the parish of Peters Marland, north Devon, England.
Winscott House was built or re-built in 1865 and was demolished after 1931. It should not be confused with Winscott in the nearby parish of St Giles in the Wood, the historic residence of the Devon historian Tristram Risdon (d.1640).〔Such a confusion was made by Pevsner & Cherry in The Buildings of England: Devon, 2004 edition〕 Winscott was a seat of the Stevens family also of Velstone, in the parish of Buckland Brewer and Cross, in the parish of Little Torrington, the latter existing today as a large Georgian mansion about 2 miles south of Great Torrington. Richard Stevens (d.1776) of Winscott was MP for Callington in Cornwall between 1761 and 1768, a pocket borough controlled by the Rolle family of Heanton Satchville in the parish of Petrockstowe (adjoining Peters Marland on the south-east). He was the chief agent in charge of the extensive Devon and Cornwall estates of Lady Orford, née Margaret Rolle (1708/9-1781), ''suo jure'' Baroness Clinton, daughter and sole heiress of Samuel Rolle (1646–1719) of Heanton Satchville, Petrockstowe. Her family was descended from the youngest son of George Rolle (d.1552), of Stevenstone, the founder of that family in Devon, but was not far behind the senior line seated at Stevenstone in terms of wealth and influence. She was married aged fifteen to Robert Walpole, 2nd Earl of Orford (d.1751), son of Robert Walpole (d.1745) the first prime minister. The marriage was not a happy one and Margaret left England to live in Florence, Italy, where she died. Thus she required the services of Richard Stevens as her agent in England. His daughter Elizabeth Stevens (d.1792) married firstly Robert Awse of Horwood House, Frithelstock,〔History of Parliament biog. of John Cleveland〕 and secondly in 1782 John Cleveland (1734-1817) of Tapely, MP for Barnstaple 1766-1802.〔Biography of Richard Stevens by Drummond, Mary M., published in History of Parliament: House of Commons 1754-1790, Namier, L. (Ed.), 1964 ()〕
In 1850 Winscott was the residence of John Curzon Moore-Stevens Esq., the Archdeacon's son.〔White's Devonshire Directory, 1850〕 In 1865, following his father's death, he rebuilt it at a cost of over £7,000〔The Builder Magazine, October 1865〕 to the design of
William White (1825-1900), FSA, with yellow brick from the nearby Marland clay works. He also rebuilt the nave and chancel of St Peter's Church, Peters Marland, in 1865, also to the designs of William White.〔Lauder, Rosemary, p.55〕 The new house was approximately 100 ft square. It was demolished shortly after 1931.〔Further reading: North Devon Record Office (A418): Map of Winscott Barton, Peters Marland, by John Mallet of Torrington 1800〕
