Manor of Holcombe Rogus

The south entrance front of Holcombe Court was described by Pevsner as "the most spectacular example of the Tudor style in Devon".

[3] The front porch is entered through a four-centred arch above which is a three-storey bay-window protruding and supported by corbels.

The porch is surmounted by a massive buttressed tower with a staircase turret on its west (left) side.

The roof-space was subsequently ceiled to form a 65-foot long gallery above, said by Pevsner to be the best example from the 16th century in Devon.

[6] Baldwin's tenant in 1086 was Rogo, who also held from him Hockworthy, Monkculm, Bernardsmoor, Tapps, Chevithorne and Colwell.
