Bradley (house)

It is set amongst woodland and meadows in the valley of the River Lemon about a half mile to the west of the main town.

Interesting features include the missing gatehouse, the interior of the chapel, the fenestration of the east front and the wall paintings.

On the walls of an upstairs room is preserved a late medieval pattern of stencilled black fleur-de-lys.

It is a simple building with a stone altar, a fine east window, a tiny gallery and the original wagon-shaped braced-collar roof.

[3] Flowing past the house is the Bradley Leat which used to provide water for the manorial mills which were located where the cattle market in Newton Abbot now stands.
