Colleton, Chulmleigh

Its nearest town is Chulmleigh, which lies approximately 3.6 miles (5.8 km) to the south-west.

It consists of the grade I listed[1] Colleton Barton (the former manor house) and Colleton Mill, the former manorial mill, with another former industrial building situated at the approach to the bridge over the River Taw.

Russell is said to have had expensive sporting habits both on and off the hunting-field, which drained the substantial resources of his heiress wife and left the estate of Colleton in poor condition.

[7] The property was bought in 1901 by William Pethebridge Martin (1859–1935);[8] since 1987, Colleton has been owned by Simon and Grania Phillips, who have carried out much restoration work[9] and have been rearing North Devon cattle on the estate since about 2000.

The building is orientated on an east-west axis, thus suited for religious usage.
