Heanton Satchville, Huish

In 1797,[2] shortly before the early death of Robert Trefusis, 17th Baron Clinton (1764–1797) at the age of 33, his ancient and grand mansion house at Heanton Satchville in the parish of Petrockstowe in Devon, burned down.

His wife died a year after him, leaving a 10-year-old son and heir Robert Trefusis, 18th Baron Clinton (1787–1832), without a habitable residence.

[7] Bicton House, inherited from his paternal uncle Mark Rolle (d.1907) had nevertheless remained the 21st Baron's principal seat until his death in 1957.

[8] The 21st Baron Clinton died without male issue, and the title, having briefly fallen into abeyance, was eventually inherited in 1965 by Gerard Fane, the grandson of his eldest daughter Harriet Trefusis,[9] who also inherited the vast Clinton estates and changed his surname to "Fane-Trefusis".

Today Heanton Satchville remains the principal residence of the Fane-Trefusis family, Barons Clinton.
