[1][7] There are also four memorials to members of that family, the most elaborate to John Arscott (died 1675), who was Sheriff of Devon, and his wife.

W. G. Hoskins described the Arscotts as one of the ancient families of freeholders that rose to the ranks of the squirearchy over a period of 300 years or so by the steady accumulation of property, mostly through marriage.

[1] Following the Arscotts, Tetcott was inherited by their distant cousins[15] the family of Molesworth, later Molesworth-St Aubyn, of Pencarrow, Cornwall,[1] who continue there until the present day.

In 1831, whilst retaining the original manor house used some time later as a farmhouse,[25] they demolished the adjacent Queen Anne mansion,[15] an act much resented by the local population, and built in its place a "Gothic cottage"[27] to serve as a hunting lodge.

[28] In 1925,[15] as a secondary residence to Pencarrow,[26] the family moved into the original manor house, formerly let as a farmhouse, which survives today.

[1] Above the round arch of the central two-storey porch[1] was reset, in the 20th century, the 1603 datestone taken from Tetcott Mill.
