Clovelly Court

The manor of Clovelly was for over 600 years owned by the Cary family but in 1738 the estate was sold to locally born Lincoln's Inn lawyer Zachary Hamlyn (1677-1759).

On his death he left the property to his great-nephew James Hammet (1735–1811) who changed his name to Hamlyn.

The 4,600-acre [2] estate passed on the death of the 3rd and last baronet in 1861 to his son Neville and then following his early death to the baronet's eldest daughter Susan Hester Hamlyn-Williams who married Henry Fane, creating the Hamlyn-Fane family.

John Rous (born 1950), great-great-grandson of Susan Hester Hamlyn-Fane, great-grandson of Prime Minister H. H. Asquith and son of the 5th Earl of Stradbroke.

Most of the stained glass windows are 19th century, but some small fragments of ancient stained glass are set into the north chancel window, displaying the arms of Berkeley and Newburgh Earl of Warwick (without the ermine cheveron).
