[4] Within the parish are various historic estates including: Kenedon, a manor listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Chenigedone, later a seat of the Hals family.

The mansion house is today represented by a small 16th c. farmhouse known as Keynedon, about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the village of Sherford.

[5] Malston,[6] a seat of the Reynell family of East Ogwell, which two manors they had inherited in the 14th century, on the marriage of Walter Reynell (fl.1363/4) (from Cambridgeshire) to Margaret Stighull, daughter and heiress of William Stighull[7] of Malston[8] and East Ogwell.

It was the birthplace of Henry Pollexfen (1632–1691),[11] of Nutwell in the parish of Woodbury, Devon, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.
